THE ESTABLISHED HEART “It is a good thing that the heart be established with grace, not with meats, which have not profited those who have been occupied therein.” (HEBREWS 13:9. IT is a good thing to have an established heart. With too many of us the inner life is variable…

THE UNCHANGING SAVIOUR “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” (HEBREWS 13:8).

GOD A CONSUMING FIRE “Our God is a consuming fire.” (HEBREWS 12:29.) THIS is one of the shortest texts in the Bible. It takes rank with those other three brief sentences which declare the nature of God, God is Light, God is Love, God is Life. But to many it is…

THE THINGS THAT CANNOT BE SHAKEN “This word, ‘Yet once more’, signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.” (HEBREWS 12:27). WHAT majesty there is in these words! They bear the mint mark of Deity.…

THE IDEAL LIFE “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord, looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.” (HEBREWS 12:14-15). How beautiful and solemn are…

CHASTISEMENT Whom the Lord loves He chastens, and scourges every son whom He receives.” (HEBREWS 12:6). It is hardly possible to suppose that any will read these lines who have not drunk of the bitter cup of affliction. Some may have even endured a great fight of afflictions. Squadron after…

STRIPPING FOR THE RACE “Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the…

FAITH AND ITS EXPLOITS “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” (HEBREWS 11:1). SOCIETY rests on the faith which man has in man. The workman, toiling through the week for the wage which he believes he will receive, the passenger, procuring a ticket…

DRAWING BACK “The just shall live by faith, but if any man draw back, My soul shall have no pleasure in him.” (HEBREWS 10:38). The Epistle has been for some time glowing with ever-increasing heat, and now it flames out into a vehement expostulation, which must have startled and terrified…

AN ANCIENT HEBREW CUSTOM “Sacrifice and offering you desire not, but a body you have prepared me.” (HEBREWS 10:5). In that old Hebrew world that lies now so far back in the dim twilight of the past, there were several customs, of more than transient interest, one of which claims…

“ONCE” “Once in the end of the world has He appeared, to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.” (HEBREWS 9:26). THERE is a word here which recurs, like a note on an organ beneath the tumult of majestic sound. Five times, at least, it rolls forth its thunder, pealing…

THE BLOOD OF CHRIST “Without shedding of blood is no remission.” -HEBREWS 9:22. Round and round this ancient window into the past (verses 15-28) is bound the red cord of blood. Twelve times at the very least does this solemn, this awful, word occur. The Devil himself seems to admit…

TEACHING BY CONTRAST “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the Eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God! (HEBREWS 9:14). In this marvellous paragraph (verses 6-14) there are five striking and well-defined contrasts between the…

THE HEAVENLY THINGS THEMSELVES “For there was a tabernacle made.” HEBREWS 9:2. THE eye is quicker than the ear. And there is therefore no language so expressive as the language of symbols. The multitude will better catch your meaning by one apt symbol than by a thousand words. The mind shrinks from…

THE TWO COVENANTS “I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people.” (HEBREWS 8:10). A NEW word comes into this marvellous treatise which may repel some, as having a theological sound, and yet it contains new depths of meaning and interest for us all. It…

THE TRUE TABERNACLE “According to the pattern showed to you in the mount.” (HEBREWS 8:5). THERE were three stages by which Moses, the man of God, ascended into the Mount. To the first, he went in company with Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy elders of the children of Israel, the…

THE SUPERLATIVE GREATNESS OF CHRIST “Able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever lives to make intercession for them.” (HEBREWS 7:25). THIS chapter needs to be read under a deep sense of sin, to be properly understood and appreciated. It is the conscious…

THE PRIESTHOOD OF CHRIST “You are a Priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.” (HEBREWS 7:17).
