Life From Death

Reflections If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. (Matt. 27:40) Natural thinking insists that in order to LIVE we must come down from our Cross. But the Truth is, in order to LIVE we must die on the Cross and be raised. Jesus said as much “Whoever would save His life will lose it. But whoever would lose His life for My sake will find it.” (Matt. 16:24) Grasp this Truth and your entire Christian life will be changed. You will stop asking God to help you save your life for yourself – you will …

Moses made an end of speaking.” Deuteronomy 32:45

So we all shall do some day. Moses knew it was the end for him; we may not know when our end is at hand. Any word of ours, spoken amid glee and merriment, may be our last!! If we always thought of this—would it not make us more careful? Would we ever say an unkind word to a friend, if we felt that we may never have an opportunity to unsay it or repent of it? Would we ever utter an angry, untrue, or unclean word—if we only remembered that it may be the last utterance our lips shall …

His people thought they were choosing their king, but God was choosing their Lamb.

Fake Faith

Reflections Wherefore let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. (1 Cor 10:12) Paul is not exhorting us to make sure we are strong enough to stand. Rather, he is telling us to make sure that our faith is in Jesus Christ — rather than in ourselves, or in something else. If your faith is in yourself, you may for a time think you stand. But your faith is NOT real. It is fake; a façade. The only real faith is faith in Jesus Christ, because He is the only One who is faithful and true. God …
