Great Encouragement in Christ JESUS ~ 02 June, 2026 A.D.

“And it will be said in that day:  Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is Jehovah; we have waited for Him; we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.’” -Isaiah 25:9 

 

1. Behold, our God has come to earth!
    Jesus the Christ is He:
  The lone God-Man, of virgin-birth –
    He is the deity
    Clothed in humanity,
  And born to set His people free.
 

2. Behold Him then in all His ways!
    See how His glories shine!
  The wonders did throughout His days –
    His miracles divine
    From water turned to wine
  Are all to us a glorious sign.
 

3. Behold His death and victory
    Ov’r sin and all we dread!
  He died to set His people free,
    Then rose up from the dead
    As He Himself had said,
  And stomped upon the serpent’s head.
 

4. Behold Him now upon God’s throne!
    He reigns as King and Lord!
  All glory is to Him alone –
    He now has His reward,
    He rules through deed and word,
  And He is by God’s saints adored.
 

5. Behold our God again will come!
    Let us be ready then!
  The wicked will receive their doom –
    But we who will trust in
    This God who saves from sin
  Will be with Him, Jesus our Friend.

HEAVEN – WHERE ALL ARE HAPPY 

AND NONE ARE MISERABLE

 

Heaven is the only place where the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is perfectly and unceasingly praised and worshiped.

If you desire to do so on earth, one of God’s final blessings to you will be to enable you to do so in heaven. You there will be happier than you have ever been.

But if you do not desire to do so on earth, one of God’s final blessings to you will be to bar you from heaven. For you would be miserable there.    

And there will be no miserable persons in heaven.

LOVING AS CHRIST LOVED

 

I can never love as Christ loved me. But as much as is possible, let me love my brethren as Christ loved me. When a brother sins or has trouble, let me take his sin and trouble on myself and try to understand the weight of it upon him. Let me cover his sin rather than exposing it. Let me intercede for him before God and brethren and not speak of his sin to anyone. May God give us grace to fulfill the law of Christ, loving one another, restoring one another, as Christ loved us (Galatians 6:1-3.)

Great Encouragement in Christ JESUS ~ 19 October, 2025 A.D.

"Behold, he prayeth!"   -Acts 9:11 [KJV] In many trades, it is customary to shew samples or patterns. By these men judge of the goodness or quality of the whole. St. Paul sets himself forth as a sample, or pattern, of the free, distinguishing, sovereign, unmerited grace of God, that we should judge of its nature by its efficacy upon him. “I obtained mercy, for this cause, that in me first   (-a first rate sinner) Jesus Christ may shew forth His all long suffering, for a pattern to them who should hereafter believe on Him to life everlasting”   (I Timothy 1:16.) Thou hast seen this pattern of free grace. What dost thou think of it?  The whole is alike with the pattern. It cometh alike upon elect sinners. It finds no more prerequisites, fitness, qualifications, or conditions in any, than it did in St. Paul. Whenever it takes place upon any, it produceth the same effects as it did in him. Grace and mercy from Jesus, makes Saul pray to Jesus. There is the ...

Light Rising in the Darkness: Take Heart, friends...

"Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness." -Psalm 112:4 [KJV] We often get into such dark paths, that we seem altogether out of the secret, and feel as if there were no more grace in our souls, than in one altogether dead in trespasses and sins. And whether we look back at the past, or view the present, or turn our eyes to the future, one dark cloud seems to rest upon the whole; nor can we, with all our searching, find to our satisfaction that we have one spark of true religion, or one atom of grace, or one grain of vital godliness, or any trace that the Spirit of God has touched our consciences with His finger. Now, when we are in this dark, benighted state, we want light; we want the blessed Sun of righteousness to arise; we want the south wind to blow a heavenly gale, and drive the mists away; we want the clouds to part, and the light of God's countenance to shine into our souls, so as to shew us where we are, and what we are, and make it cle...

THE GREAT TRUMPET BLAST ~ The Joyful Sound!

"The great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come, who were ready to perish." -Isaiah 27:13 [KJV] One trumpet has been blown, at the giving of the law, on mount Sinai: the voice of it sounded long, and waxed louder and louder. It made even Moses to fear and quake exceedingly, and all the people tremble. Soon, very soon, (who knows but it may be the next moment, in the twinkling of an eye?) the last trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised (I Corinthians 15:52.)   Tremendous voice! most solemn sound! The prophet asks, “Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid?” (Amos. 3:6.) If the alarm of war, and the approach of an enemy should be sounded in the dead of the night, what fear and terror would seize us! Must we hear the sound of the last trumpet, calling us to judgment?  Blessed, eternally blessed be our God, for the blowing of this great trumpet: it is the sound of great love: it proclaims salvation—to whom? Even to great s...
