“Rest … Rest” Matthew 11:28-30. There is something very remarkable in the place we find those well-known verses, and there is a great contrast between what the blessed Lord proposes to the soul in them and His own circumstances at that moment. Indeed, it is this, I feel certain, that clothes them…

“Fast Asleep” Jonah 1:2 The remarkable history of Jonah is a picture of Israel’s history — that people are at present at the bottom of the sea, as it were; but there will be, in the coming day, a restoration of the nation. But the prophet is more than a…

The Syrophenician Matthew 15:10-28. In this beautiful scripture the Lord unfolds to us, in a striking way, what is in the heart of man, in contrast with what is in His own heart. There is nothing but badness in the one, and nothing but goodness in the other. Men in…

The Dumb to Speak; or, the Mouth Closed and Opened Romans 3:10. The gospel sets before a sinner what God is, having shown out what man is. The cross, which has displayed God in His own nature, has also established the guilt of man. It declares that man has no…

The Good Samaritan Luke 10:20-35. In this parable we have delineated, in the simplest way and most exact manner, how Christ is a neighbour to a needy one on earth. There is nothing about heaven in it. There is the salvation which entitles me to heaven; but it is not there that…

The Prodigal’s Reception In Luke 15:11-24, the blessed Son, here on earth, is telling out the nature of the Father’s love. It is a parable of the Father’s feelings about a prodigal son. The Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, only knew the extent of our ruin, and He only…

“The Jailer Liberated” “And at midnight, Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed. And…

“God was in Christ” 2 Corinthians 5. There are two great aspects of the gospel in this chapter, first, That to which we are called, and for which we are made fit; second, The testimony God has brought out of sin in us, and Christ’s work meeting it. It is…
