"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

  “His commandments are not grievous.”   It is more profitable and enjoyable to love than to hate, to forgive than to hold a grudge, to smile than to quarrel, to behave kindly than to act ugly. The way of the transgressor is hard, not the way of the believer.  The life of faith and love is the good life.                                                                -preacher Henry Mahan

Sovereign Grace is God’s grace. And God’s grace is Sovereign Grace. If it is not Sovereign Grace, it is not saving grace.  Sovereign Grace is the Truth.   Sovereign Grace is the message that declares the electing love of the Father, the redeeming love of the Son, and the invincible love of the Holy Spirit.  Sovereign grace is the content of all true evangelism.  Sovereign Grace is the Gospel!  Any message that does not declare the sovereign Grace of God in Christ Jesus is “another gospel” !  Sovereign grace is saving grace !

This chapter is like a touch-stone. Herein our Lord tries His disciples, to see who are real sterling, and who not. Many are His professed, but few His real disciples. Sifting times will come. They make manifest. The hottest place in hell is prepared for those who turn their backs upon the Son of God on earth.  Lord, grant that our faces may be set like a flint towards Thee. For, blessed be Thy name, Thou hast said of those who continue with Thee in Thy temptations: “I appoint unto you a kingdom: ye shall eat and drink at My table” (Luke 22:29, 30.) But those who are not agreed with Christ, have not the mind of Christ: will not walk long with Him. See this exemplified.  (1st.) “Some of these disciples followed Christ for the loaves and fishes,” verse 26 . Those who follo
