Saved By His Life
“For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” —Romans 5:10 It is not the entire verse I am thinking of tonight so much as the last four words, “Saved by his life.” What are we to understand by this expression? Certainly the verse itself and the entire context makes it very plain that it is through the death of Christ our sins are put away. It is His precious atoning blood that cleanses us from all sin, thus purging our … Read More >

The Miracle Working Christ
I want to read a few verses from the second chapter of John’s Gospel: “And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: “And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. “And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. “Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. “His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. “And there were set there six waterpots of stone, … Read More >

Where Christ Is All In All
“Wherein...Christ is all in all.”—Colossians 3:11 Christianity is not a cold, dead or not a theory about Christ; it is not a series of ethical statements proceeding from Christ; it is not a system, builded upon the concepts of Christ—Christianity is Christ. Christianity is not a cold, dead organization; it is a living organism, and it could not survive the loss of Christ, its living, vital Head any more than a human body, a living organism, could survive the loss of its head. Herein lies the chief distinction between Christianity and all world religions. Buddhism survive the loss of Buddha; … Read More >

Blind Guides
I have just read a book entitled, “A Guide to the Study of the Christian Religion,” sent out from Chicago University. I wish someone would write a companion volume and entitle it “A Color-Blind Guide to the Study of the Christian Religion.” For these eminent gentlemen are blind to three things. They are blind to the purple—they see no royalty in Jesus Christ. To them He is an evolution from things before Him, and did not come down from heaven as He said He did, but came up from the mud with the rest. They are blind to the red, … Read More >

Return Of The King
Imagine you are having a regular day at home or at the office, and then without warning, you are in the presence of Christ with a new body and in an entirely different realm of existence. Incredibly, Jesus is beside you, friends who have died are there, and you find yourself mingling with an innumerable host of people, all suspended in midair. You are reunited with your mother, father and friends long since forgotten on Earth. But the focus is on your leader and Savior, King Jesus, who has returned as He promised: “And if I go and prepare a … Read More >

The Temptation: The Testing Of The Incarnation
In order to see just what the incarnation is, you must turn to Galatians 4:4–7, “When the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ,” a joint heir. The Preparation For The … Read More >

Uttermost Salvation
Opening address of the Victorious Life Conference, June 23, 1920. “Wherefore he is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” —Hebrews 7:25 Whenever people visit the city of Jerusalem they are shown a number of sights and wonderful places, and, if you believe everything you are told, you would believe a great deal. But, of course, whether the places are accurately stated or not every visitor goes to see what there is to be seen, and the most important place in Jerusalem in the opinion … Read More >

The Great Atonement
“And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.” —Leviticus 16:21–22 There are two great facts standing over against each other right from the very beginning of … Read More >

On Eagle's Wings
“They that wait upon the LORD shall renew (exchange) their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” —Isaiah 40:31 You will notice that, before God gives a promise like this, He is like a good banker. The banker, before he asks you to deposit your money, writes on his window and on his literature his resources. God says, “Hast though not known, hast thou not heard, that the everlasting Lord, the creator, fainteth not, neither is weary? There is no searching of His understanding. … Read More >

The Compassionate Christ
We have our text this morning in St. Matthew’s Gospel, chapter 15, verse 32: “Then Jesus called His disciples unto Him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with Me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.” Banquets That is Matthew 15:32. “I have compassion on the multitude.” You will note the distinction between this miracle in the 15th chapter of Matthew’s Gospel and the miracles in chapter 14. In chapter 14, you have the feeding of the five thousand with … Read More >
