The Way Home, by John Thomas Mawson,
“I am treading a path of sorrow, but thousands of God’s pilgrims have trodden it before me, and He who sustained them in it will also sustain me, for His grace and power are always the same.” (From a Letter) It is a rough road that many whom the Lord…

The Walls of the Holy City, by John Thomas Mawson,
It is remarkable that more is said of the walls of the Holy City than of the city itself (Revelation 21); there must be an important reason for this. The city is, as we have seen in a former paper (see “The Holy City“), the glorified church and the vessel…

The Victory of Love, by John Thomas Mawson,
“Then delivered he Him therefore to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led Him away. And He bearing His cross went forth into a place called the place of a Skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: where they crucified Him, and two other with Him,…

The Uttermost Part of the Earth, by John Thomas Mawson,
The last words that fell from the lips of the Lord before He ascended to heaven were “to the uttermost part of the earth.” They come down even to us with all His authority, and with that peculiar force that His last words must have for us if we love…

The Universality and Power of the Gospel, by John Thomas Mawson,
The Gospel of Mark closes with these words: “So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, [His disciples] He was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God; and they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word with…
-
The Two Books, by John Thomas Mawson,
The Book of Grace That the Revelation is largely a book of symbols will be understood by all our readers. Some of these symbols are difficult to interpret, others are exceedingly plain. Christ is the great centre of Revelation 5, and the chapter is easy to understand. THE LION OF THE…

The Trespass Offering, by John Thomas Mawson
“Then I restored that which I took not away” (Psalm 69:4). The Trespass Offering (Leviticus 5-6) is usually looked upon as a sort of secondary sin offering and passed over with little notice, but there are features about it, so it seems to me, that give it a character entirely…
-
The Travail of His Soul, by John Thomas Mawson,
In the ancient Jewish Scriptures the Book of Ruth formed part of the Book of Judges. The events therein recorded took place during the period in which the Judges lived, and Ruth’s life and devotion form a pleasing contract to the sad apostasy and corruption that marked the end of…

The “Together-ness” of God’s Family, by John Thomas Mawson,
“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves TOGETHER, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” (Hebrews 10:25). “For where two or three are gathered TOGETHER in My name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew…

The Time has Come, by John Thomas Mawson,
“Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord” (2 Timothy 1:8). My appeal is specially and definitely to the young disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am not in this minimizing the importance of those who are older in the faith; a great responsibility rests upon…
-
The Threefold Cry of the Spirit, by John Thomas Mawson,
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify to you theses things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the Bright and Morning Star. And the Spirit and bride say, Come. And let him that hearth say, Come and let him that is athirst…

The Testing Time Is a Sifting Time, by John Thomas Mawson,
There is more comfort in the Scriptures than ever we have drawn from them, or ever shall. They are like the boundless ocean, while our need is like the bucket that is dropped into it. Take such a passage as this, “For, lo, I will command, and I will sift…

The Testimony of the Lord, Article 2, by John Thomas Mawson
2 Timothy A few weeks ago his Majesty the King presented new colours to the Guards regiments. In entrusting those colours to them he told them that they spoke of the glorious history of the Guards and were an emblem for the present and the future of the soldier’s honour…

The Testimony of the Lord, Article 1, by John Thomas Mawson,
1. Christ has been here.2. He is no longer here.3. He is coming hack again. These three great facts with what is involved in them make up “the testimony of the Lord,” and it is incumbent upon us who own His Name to understand the full force of them, and…

The Testimony of John the Baptist to the Lord Jesus, by John Thomas Mawson,
There was a man sent from God whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light. He was a burning and shining light, but he was not the Light. The moon which shines in the night bears its witness to its lord, the sun. It…

The Talk about Difficulties, by John Thomas Mawson,
We are warned in the Word that in the last days “difficult times” shall come, and we have surely reached them. But along with the forewarning there is given to us that which can thoroughly forearm us, so that we may meet the difficulties courageously. Then how is it that…

The Supremacy of Christ in the Assembly, by John Thomas Mawson,
If the saints of God are to be gathered together, according to the thoughts and will of God, it must be by the truth and power of God. The truth is in Christ and the power is in the Holy Ghost, and apart from these there is no assembly of…
-
The Supper of our Lord, by John Thomas Mawson,
Report of Address given in Edinburgh, on 1 Corinthians 11 I would speak of the great Saviour and that love that led Him down into the depths of death for us; and, in the fear of God, the effect that those sufferings and the thought of them should have upon us.…

The Sufficiency of Christ Triumphant for the Entire Need of His Body on Earth, by John Thomas Mawson,
J.N.Darby has beautifully written, “Christ never fails, and there cannot be a want in Christ’s church without there being an answer to it in Christ’s heart.” Yes, and how blessed, how full of comfort it is to know that His heart not only discerns and feels and responds to every…

“The Stone cut out without Hands”, by John Thomas Mawson,
Daniel 2:34 We have received a copy of The Banner of Israel, a magazine devoted to the futile effort of proving that the Anglo-Saxons are the descendants of the lost ten tribes of Israel. The leading article deals with Nebuchadnezzar’s vision of the great image (Daniel 2) and asserts that the…
