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

"Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts, as of woollen and linen together." -Deuteronomy 22:11 [KJV] Though the true believer, who like the king's daughter is all glorious within, cannot but know, that as meat commendeth us not to God, so neither doth the necessary dress, which, since the fall, is become suited to cover our sinful bodies, make a part of our holy faith; yet it is highly proper, that persons professing godliness should use great plainness of apparel. The ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, we are told, is of great price in the sight of God. But who should have thought that such a precept as this of Moses had a gospel signification!     And yet as Christ was preached under types and figure through the whole law, we may reasonably suppose that not a single command was then given but what had an eye to Him and His great salvation. But if we find the Lord so strict respecting the outward dress of the body, what may we conclude the Lord wou...

"I AM among you as He that serveth."   - Luke 22:27  [KJV] Surely there is a blessedness in these words that affords substance to feed upon. My soul, read them again and again; pause over them, pray over them, and look up to Him that thus so humbly, graciously, and lovingly, expressed Himself. Art Thou, blessed Jesus, among Thy people as He that serveth? I know, Lord, that Thou didst condescend to become the Servant of Jehovah, though Thou wert Lord of all, when for the salvation of poor sinners Thou didst undertake to veil Thy Godhead, and in our nature to become our Surety. And I know, Lord, also, that Thou didst, in a very memorable moment, and at a time when as the evangelist had it to relate to the church, Thou knewest that the Father had given all things into Thine hands, Thou didst condescend to wash Thy disciples feet. But art Thou still among Thy people as one that serveth? Be astonished, O heavens, and wonder, O earth! All power is Thine in heaven and in earth. And ...

"...the righteousness of God without the law is manifested... being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; to declare, I say, at this time His righteousness: that He might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus." -Romans 3:21-26 "I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions for Mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins." -Isaiah 43:25 "For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." -II Corinthians 5:21 "Who is a God like unto Thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of His heritage?" -Micah 7:18a "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus ...Who shall...

"Now the end of the commandment is charity, out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned." - 1 Timothy 1:5  [KJV] See, my soul, what Jesus hath secured for thee by His gracious undertaking and accomplishment, and which His servant was commissioned to tell the church, was the very end of the commandment; namely, charity, or love. And this law of love is given thee, that thou mightest manifest Whose thou art, and to Whom thou dost belong; not as a rule of acceptance, for then that would be to make Thy love a covenant of works; but as a sweet testimony of Thy affection in the hand of Jesus. It is a law of love indeed, because the cords of love, by which thou art drawn, prove it to be so. Thy obedience is not from slavish fear, for then this would be bondage; but the love of Christ constrains thee. Thy love to Him makes thee long to be like Him. Thy love to Him makes His commandments not grievous but gracious. Thy love to Him makes ordinances precious, b...

"And thou shalt not be for another man; so will I also be for thee." - Hosea 3:3  [KJV] My soul, was not God the Holy Ghost representing, by the similitude of His servant the prophet's marriage with an adulteress, the astonishing marriage of Jesus with our nature, and His personal-union with every individual of His church and people? Look at this scripture, and see how sweetly it points to Jesus. The prophet was commanded to love this woman beloved of her friend, and yet an adulteress. He was to buy her also to himself: and he was to charge her to abide with him, and not to play the harlot any more, saying unto her: "And thou shalt not be for another man, so will I also be for thee."     Precious Jesus, do I not behold Thee in all this? Can any thing more strikingly shadow forth Thy grace, Thy mercy, Thy love, to Thy people? Was not our whole nature estranged from Thee, when Thou camest down from heaven to seek and save that which was lost? Were not all in a st...
