The Father’s Love for Us, by John Thomas Mawson,

The Father of Lights is Our God, by John Thomas Mawson,

-
The Exhortations of Scripture, by John Thomas Mawson,
The exhortations of Scripture are not in any sense legal commands, to be carried out under pains and penalties. But they define in detail that which is the proper outcome of the divine life that we have received as the children of God; and, if we read Christ into them, the blessing and joy…

The Effect of the True Knowledge of God, by John Thomas Mawson,
Psalm 51 I want to show you the effect upon a man of the knowledge of the living and true God. I lay the emphasis upon the living and true God, for in these days it is almost necessary to ask what a man means when he speaks of God. It has…

The Effect of Prayer on the One Who Prays, by John Thomas Mawson,
Hannah, the wife of Elkanah, had a great sorrow weighing on her heart, crushing all the brightness out of her life. But she carried this sorrow in prayer to God. She was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the Lord and wept sore … SHE CONTINUED PRAYING BEFORE THE…

The Education of Thomas, by John Thomas Mawson,
Thomas Didymus was not a voluble man like his friend Simon Peter, he was a man of few words, but when he did speak it was to the point, revealing the sort of man he was. Only John records his words, and we may be sure that the Holy Spirit…

The Drinking of the Cup, by John Thomas Mawson,
“Abba, Father … take away this cup from me; nevertheless not what I will, but what Thou wilt” (Mark 14:36).“The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ” (1 Corinthians 10:16). The drinking of a cup, in Scripture, means the taking into…

The Door of Salvation, by John Thomas Mawson,
I have heard of a dream that a man had. It was night, and a great storm raged fiercely about him, and he had neither home nor shelter. Presently he saw a light shining in the darkness, and struggling against the tempest he reached the door from which it shone,…
-
The Devil and His Activities, by John Thomas Mawson,
2 Corinthians 2:11; 4:3-6; 11:2-3, 14; 12:6-9 It is my intention to talk about the devil. A strange subject, you say. Yes, but a most necessary one. It would serve his purpose well if we ignored or forgot his existence, for he would then be able to carry on his activities against us and…
-
The Deliverer, by John Thomas Mawson,
There lies the helpless cripple, around him a mass of suffering humanity, but none worse than he; for thirty-eight years he had suffered, and through all those years no thrill of strength had stirred his palsied limbs. The doctors must have pronounced his case hopeless, and yet with a strange…
-
The Deity of Our Lord, by John Thomas Mawson,
It is asserted by some who hate the truth that Jesus is the Son in the Godhead, that the Gospel of John alone declares it. This is false; the fact is stated very definitely in the other Gospels, but what is even more arresting and equally convincing is that it…
-
The Deity of Jesus, by John Thomas Mawson,
The central truth of all truth is that concerning the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. He was man on earth and His life here closed upon a malefactor’s cross, and He is a man now at the right of the Majesty on High, having been raised again from the…

-
The Dangers of Maturer Years, by John Thomas Mawson,
“Thou hast left thy first love” (Revelation 2:4). It has become the usual thing in public addresses to exhort young believers to devotion to Christ, and to warn them against worldly and Satanic snares. The inference is that older ones are not in the same danger as their younger brethren;…
-
The Cross of Christ, by John Thomas Mawson,
As the children of Jacob had to date their beginning as a nation in relationship with God from the Passover night when the lamb was sacrificed for them, so must we in our thoughts continually go back to the Cross of Calvary where Christ, our Passover, was slain for us.…
-
The Credentials of Our Lord, by John Thomas Mawson,
Notes of an Address Men must have a leader, and how ready they are to follow any upstart who can make enough promises of good times to come, and how constantly disappointed and deceived they are by those they follow. That must be the experience through life of all, until…

The Conversion of Job, by John Thomas Mawson,
“As a prince I would go near Him” (Job 31:37). A great man was this Job, and strong in his own defence. The talk of his three friends would have crushed and silenced an ordinary man, but it only made him the more vehement in declaring his own righteousness, and…
