Lord and Head, by John Thomas Mawson,
Acts 9:1-6; Colossians 3:12-17 To Paul was given that wonderful truth, the truth of the mystery, to complete the Word of God. The way in which the Lord Jesus was first made known to him characterized the whole of his ministry. Two things are prominent in that interview. One, the lordship…

Looking Upon Jesus as He Walked, by John Thomas Mawson,
“Again the next day John stood, and two of His disciples, and looking upon Jesus as He walked, he says, BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD” (John 1:35-36). Three things resulted from this testimony of John to Jesus in the disciples who heard him speak: —1. Their hearts became engrossed with…

“Live in Peace”, by John Thomas Mawson,
A Word on the Carnality of Strife and Division amongst the Saints of God “Finally brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. Greet one another with an holy kiss. All the…

A Limit to Suffering, by John Thomas Mawson,
All the Prime Minister could offer the nation when he took up his onerous office was “sweat and suffering, tears and blood”; and from that suffering none in the land can claim exemption, the Christian as well as the most godless man must take his share of it as being…

Like The Engravings of a Signet, by John Thomas Mawson,
“Like the engravings of a signet.” Three times this phrase occurs in our chapter (Exodus 28), which describes the garments of the High Priest in Israel. Once for the shoulders, once for the breast and once for the brow. The shoulders for strength, the breast for love, and the brow…

Life, by John Thomas Mawson,
It is plain to all who have eyes to see and hearts to understand that the world is in darkness, i.e., in ignorance of God. And the blame for this condition of things lies entirely at its own door, for “the light shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not” (John…

Life After Death, by John Thomas Mawson,
Revised Report of Address at Edinburgh Our subject of “Life after Death” is one that ought, and I believe does, command the deepest interest at this time. So many of those whom we have dearly loved have passed away from us of late, and we ourselves are passing onward. And…

Let us Draw Near, by John Thomas Mawson,
Notes of a Bible Reading in Melbourne on Hebrews 10:1-25 This chapter gives us the climax of the epistle — our entrance into the holiest as sanctified and consecrated priests. Question. What is the holiest? It is the presence of God, the place of our worship. The holiest in the tabernacle…

“Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27), by John Thomas Mawson,
How is it possible to keep the heart from troubling when trouble is knocking at every door and peering through every window, and when tribulation and sorrow are rolling about us breast high? How, when cherished props are broken and useless, and earthly hopes have failed and fled, when the…

“Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled”, by John Thomas Mawson,
Notes of an address at Bangor, North Wales, on John 14:1-9 These words came out of the Lord’s own mouth and have comforted multitudes, but we must know to whom they were spoken and whether we have a right to lay claim to them. The Lord was not speaking to self-sufficient…

Keeping the Fire Burning, by John Thomas Mawson,
It was the 6th of November; a group of lads stood on a spot where the night before they had had a glorious fire; they were measuring the circumference of it, telling each other how high it blazed and talking excitedly about their contribution to it. Its ashes were still…

Jonah – A Type of Christ, by John Thomas Mawson,
Many are the similitudes and contrasts between type and Antitype. In the type light and shade alternate amazingly; in the Antitype we have one course of light. Chapter 1 Jonah was sent of God, but he did not delight in God’s will and way. JESUS WAS GREATER THAN JONAH in…

John and the Nail Hole, by John Thomas Mawson,
“John,” said a father to his son, “bring me a hammer, a nail and a pine board.” “Yes, father, here they are,” said John. “Now, my boy, drive that nail into the board.” John did so, saying, “That’s easy enough.” “Pull it out again.” “Oh! that is very easy, father,”…

Jesus Showing Himself to His Disciples, by John Thomas Mawson,
“On this wise showed He Himself” (John 21:1) The Lord had already showed Himself to His disciples as risen from the dead. He had called their attention to His hands and His side. They had looked upon those wounds that He had borne for them, and they had handled Him…

“Jesus Calling”, by John Thomas Mawson,
In his autobiography, the late Canon Fleming, by permission of Queen Alexandra, tells of the death of the Duke of Clarence, the elder brother of our late King George. His mother sat by his bedside, when suddenly he looked at her and said, “Who is that calling me?” She answered,…

Jesus Showing Himself, by John Thomas Mawson,
An address at Windsor, Ontario, Canada, March 10, 1926, on John 20:11-31; 21:1-14 John’s Gospel gives to us the resurrection and the results of the resurrection on the very highest possible plane. In each Gospel we see that side of resurrection truth that is in keeping with the character of the Gospel,…

I Will Come Again, by John Thomas Mawson,
“In My Father’s house are many mansions.” The Lord was not leaving His disciples alone in the world as though there was only room for Him and none for them in the Father’s House. There was room for them all, had there not been He would have told them long…

“I Went Into the Sanctuary of God”, by John Thomas Mawson,
When Asaph went into the sanctuary of God it was as though he got a pair of new eyes. His whole outlook was changed, and better still he himself was the subject of a moral revolution. Before he went in he was a miserable and restless man, and as ignorant…

Is the World’s Misery due to Muddle?, by John Thomas Mawson,
We quote from one of the ablest of the English weekly Reviews: “The world has enough and to spare for its children — it daily wastes enough to feed them all — and yet never was the social condition of the world so acute in its pain and poverty.” “The…

Is the War Fulfilling Prophecy?, by John Thomas Mawson,
Many earnest people are endeavouring to prove that the war is fulfilling the prophecies of the Revelation, but this we believe is a vain attempt and can only discredit the Word in the estimation of unbelievers, and do injury to themselves. The fact is that the present period is not…
