61. Some Works of Walter Thomas Turpin. Gospel Papers
“Peace with God” I feel that God has given me, since I returned from R— the time before last, a great lift in the deeper understanding and enjoyment in the Spirit of His grace. Chiefly through seeing the fearful dishonour of not making Christ all my salvation, so as to…

The Three Crosses Luke 23:27-49. These verses detail the solemn circumstances connected with the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ. I would invite your earnest attention to it, reader, and to some of the lessons which may be learned from them: — “And when they were come to the place…

Death, Guilt, and the Power of Satan Psalm 22. There were three things which the Lord Jesus had to encounter, and to triumph over, and which were ever before Him — Death, Guilt, and the power of Satan. The union of these against Him was the “power of darkness,” which…

The Harvest Past, the Summer Ended I had just entered on my labours in the hospital at —, when a messenger came saying I was required in ward No—. It was my first visit. I felt my personal weakness, and in my heart said, “Who is sufficient for these things?”…

“What hath God Wrought?” Numbers 23:18. The thought is that our state should answer to the state into which we have been brought. Where the conscience is good this is the case; we enjoy the thing into which we have been brought in the measure in which we enter into…

The Veil Rent, the Rocks Riven, the Graves Opened Matthew 27:51-52. These verses relate what took place when Jesus yielded up the ghost. The blessed Lord died, surrendered the life which He had, and which none had title to take from Him. “No man taketh it from me, but I…

55. Some Works of Walter Thomas Turpin. Gospel Papers
The Light and the Blood That God is light is a truth more universally recognised, in some sense, than perhaps any other truth of God. We do not mean that it is known, or intelligently confessed, as God’s truth, but we mean that every man’s conscience is aware of it,…

“The Master of the House Risen Up, and the Door Shut” Luke 13:25. These solemn words of the Lord Jesus were part of His reply to one who said unto Him, “Lord, are there few that be saved?” As was usual with the blessed Lord, He answers the man, not…

God Speaking from Heaven Hebrews 12:18-29. The apostle contrasts Mount Sinai and Mount Zion, and warns them what the present testimony is. It is a mistake we very often make that we are so many responsible persons going on to judgment, and there must give an account of ourselves. That…

Sowing and Reaping Proverbs 1:24-26. What makes this passage so very solemn is, that it is the close, the finish, as we say. This is very serious indeed. The Book of Proverbs refers to the government of God upon the earth; and therefore the judgment here, though of God, and final, does not go…

“No, No” John 6:37. It is related of the great Bishop Butler that in his closing hours his uneasiness and restlessness manifested itself, and he gave utterance to what passed through his mind, thus: “Though I have tried to avoid sin, and to please God to the utmost of my…

The Glory of the Cross Whether we think of God’s glory, or Christ’s glory, or the practical effect on our hearts, it is Christ’s cross, as being a real sacrifice for sin, that is really efficacious. It glorifies God, infinitely honours Christ, and perfectly blesses man, telling him he is…

“Without Hope” Ephesians 2:12. These are very solemn words. “Having no hope, and without God in the world,” is the language used by the Spirit of God when He would describe the condition and position of Gentiles in the flesh, dead in trespasses and sins; and the contrast is equally…

“Is it Peace?” 2 Kings 9:17. One of the most important questions that could possibly engage the attention of a man stands at the head of this paper, and yet it would seem that in proportion to its importance is the indifference with which fallen man treats it. Not so…

Christ Our Peace; or the Only Foundation And now, believing in the name of the Son of God, and simply resting on the faithful word, you can say, “My sins are forgiven. I have eternal life. I am saved.” Praise the Lord! Even now there is joy over you in…

She Fell Asleep The following derives all its interest from the remarkable leading of God’s Spirit in bringing the writer and subject of this paper together a very few days before the Lord took her home to Himself. She was a child of sorrow and suffering indeed, the mother of…

Simeon; or, the Reception of Christ Luke 2:25-38. There are two things which are very distinct in connection with the reception of Christ. In the gospel a Person is set before us. Paul says, “It pleased God to reveal his Son in me.” And there are two distinct things connected with this:…

Crucifixion and Mortification “Whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever; nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it.” What rest there is in this! It is the perfection of God, and of His work, which is the very essence of the gospel, and which gives such solidity to…

“I Shall Lie Down Happy To-night!” One day, while visiting the poor women in the workhouse of a large town, I was more disheartened than ever by the amazing ignorance and lack of interest shown by the poor creatures in the things which concern salvation. They lay there in the…

“Salvation, Liberty, Food and Safety” John 10. This beautiful scripture brings before us, first, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself; next, His actings in grace. It is a great thing to know who He is, and what He is, who laid down His life for the sheep, and has put them…
