The Miracles of the Lord, by John Thomas Mawson,
A miracle is an act of super-human power. The miracles of the Lord Jesus were such, and were the attestation of His person and mission. They were His Father’s works, as His arresting and challenging words to the Jews declared, “If I do not the works of My Father, believe…
-
The Meat that Endureth, by John Thomas Mawson,
To feed five thousand men, having appetites sharpened by long fasting and the keen mountain air, was a problem beyond the powers of the disciples; for even if in that desert place they could have commanded the silver wherewith to buy the bread, where could the bakery be found that…

The Marriage of the Lamb, by John Thomas Mawson,
Report of an Address “The marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife has made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints” (Revelation 19:7-8). A woman, arrayed in purple…

The Marriage of the Lamb and the Bride’s Preparation, by John Thomas Mawson

“The Man that is My Fellow”, by John Thomas Mawson,
“Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, and against the man that is My fellow, says the Lord of Hosts: smite the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered” (Zechariah 13:7). There can be no doubt that this prophetic word was spoken concerning our Lord Jesus Christ, for He quoted it…

The Lord’s Twofold Claim on You, by John Thomas Mawson
Mark 10:17-22; John 6:66-69; 60-63; 20:26-28; 14:1-3 May the Lord deeply impress upon our souls that solemn line of things that has been before us; that we may, from this time forward, as never before, be rendering to God that which is God’s. As long as Adam did that in the garden, he was…

The Lord’s Supper and the Traitor, by John Thomas Mawson,
The question has often been asked as to whether Judas was at the table on the institution of the Supper — this is open to discussion and we do not pronounce upon it here — but what is of greater importance to us is the fact that the traitor is…

Article Two, The Lord’s Supper, by John Thomas Mawson
Every incident recorded for us in the Holy Scriptures by the Spirit of God, has for its chief purpose the exaltation of our Lord Jesus Christ; and as He rises in His surpassing glory before the soul, all divine truth takes its right place in the heart, and the Christian…

Article one, The Lord’s Supper, by John Thomas Mawson,
It is the first day of the week, THE LORD’S DAY, and my heart and mind have been concentrated on THE LORD’S SUPPER. The Day and the Supper are bound together in the New Testament, by one word that is used to describe them both. Kuriakos, the “Lord’s” means belonging to…

The Lord’s Return in the Acts of the Apostles, by John Thomas Mawson,
The Lord’s last words to His disciples as to His kingdom ought to have been enough to preserve men from the folly, and we might say the presumption, of fixing dates as to when it will come. “And He said to them, It is not for you to know the…

The Lord’s Return, by John Thomas Mawson
“Glue together till I come back” A family came tumbling pell-mell into our compartment, returning from a seaside holiday. They were a healthy crowd of boys and girls with a merry looking father and a somewhat anxious looking mother; she probably had good cause for her anxiety for her young…

The Lord’s Last Words, by John Thomas Mawson,
We invite you to consider the last words of our Lord to His disciples before He went forth to His agony in the garden and His death upon the cross. We take those that Luke was inspired by the Holy Ghost to give us, and we suggest that at least…
-
The Lord’s Death and the World, by John Thomas Mawson,
The Lord of Glory was crucified by THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD. They who did this deed were the best the world ever produced, and they were the willing and proud builders of the great world system, an edifice which is still in course of construction according to the plans of…

The Lord’s Chief Treasure, by John Thomas Mawson,
“Upon this rock I will build MY CHURCH*” (Matthew 16:18).“If so ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious” (1 Peter 2:3). {Note: It may be well to explain what the word translated “church” in our Authorized Version means. The word is “ecclesia” and means to “call out.” The ecclesia…

The Lord’s Chief Interest, by John Thomas Mawson,
How perplexed those eleven men in Jerusalem must have been on that first day of the week, when it began to dawn upon them their crucified Master had risen up from among the dead. At first they would not believe it, the report that the women brought was a pack…
-
The Lord’s Care, by John Thomas Mawson,
“How can the Lord Jesus Christ think of me, and care for me, and listen to my prayers and answer them, when He has so many millions to think of at the same time? I cannot understand it, and it troubles me a great deal.” So wrote a true, but…

The Second Article Entitled, The Lord in the Midst, by John Thomas Mawson
“Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom He raised from the dead. There they made Him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. Then took Mary a pound…

The First Article Entitled, The Lord in the Midst, by John Thomas Mawson
We hold that there could not be anything greater or more blessed for us to realize this side of heaven than the presence of the Lord in the midst of His own church, or assembly. And in case what we mean is not clear to our readers, we quote are…
