  Weekend Gospel message to follow for All Hands (19-21AUG22 A.D.) Heads-Up --- Please find enclosed encouragement in SO GREAT SALVATION by the perfect and finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ in saving poor, needy and wretched sinners by His sovereign free grace - Almighty God's unmerited favor - from our sins and from Hell: IGNORANCE OF CHRIST AND HIS WORK When I speak of ignorance of Jesus Christ, I do not mean ignorance of His Name and of the fact that there is such a Person; I refer more especially to that spiritual ignorance which is so common even among the best-informed. Nine persons out of ten who go to a place of worship do not know the meaning of the Savior shedding His blood for the remission of sin. If you press them to tell you how it is that Christ saves, they will tell you that he did something or other by which God is able to forgive sin. Though the grand fact that Christ was actually punished in the room, place and stead of His chosen people, is a fact as ...

"While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them." -Matthew 17:5 [KJV] My soul! see here, how it fared with the disciples in the mount, in the moment of those blessed manifestations which Jesus was making to them; and when, to heighten their felicity, several of the inhabitants of glory came, and spake to Jesus in the view of His disciples; yet so sudden was the change, that, even while Jesus spake, a cloud intervened and obscured all. Somewhat of the same change thou hast thyself known. How often hast thou been made like the chariots of Amminadib, by the overpowering grace that Jesus hath shewn thee! And how often have those blessed moments been followed by a dark and long night! And what ought to be thy improvement of these dispensations? Look still to Jesus, under all. Whatever changes are induced, never forget that His person is the same, and His love the same.   Mark this down. Next look up to Jesus, and tell Him, that as His visits are so sweet, so gracio...

"And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son."   -I John 5:11 [KJV] How often we are looking and looking in vain for life in ourselves. True it is that if God has quickened our souls we are partakers of life divine, of life spiritual, of life eternal, of the life  that is in Christ and comes from Christ ; and yet how often we vainly seek to find it warm and glowing in our breasts. If once given it never dies; but it is often hidden beneath the ashes, and thus though it slowly burns and dimly glows, yet the ashes hide it from view, and we only know it is there by some remains of warmth. "Your life is hid with Christ in God" (Colossians 3:3) ; and therefore not only hidden as treasured and stored up safely in God, but hidden from the world, and even hidden from the eyes of its possessor.  Christ is our life. There is no other. To look, then, for life in ourselves independent of and distinct from the fountain of life is...

  The Perfect Christ and His Perfect Gospel.   Part 1  by  D .G. Miles McKee   2 Samuel 22:31: “ As for God, His way is perfect”   Christ is perfect (Hebrews 5:9). As a result of this perfection, His work is also perfect (Hebrews 10:14). When, from the cross, He uttered that famous word, “Finished” (John 19:30), He declared that His redemptive work for us was perfect. What a joy to know that Christ’s redemptive work is finished and complete. As we have often noted, there is nothing in it that should be out of it, and nothing out of it that should be in it.   Since Jesus is the perfect One without spot or wrinkle (1 Peter 1:18-19), everything that He touches is coloured with His perfection. He is the embodiment of ‘Sinless Perfection‘.  That means believers are also sinlessly perfect … in Him.   By faith, we now see the representative man standing between us and the Father. By faith, we see ourselves clothed in Christ’s perfection. We no ...

"Sing, O ye heavens; for the L ORD hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the L ORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified Himself in Israel."   -Isaiah 44:23 [KJV] Come, my soul, and join this universal hymn of praise, this lovely evening. Surely, if the Lord, by His servant the prophet, calls upon all nature, both the animate and inanimate parts of creation, to join in the melody, well may "the redeemed of the Lord say so! " The heavens shall sing the song of redemption; for angels rejoice over converted sinners. The earth shall join the song; for the curse pronounced on the ground is taken away by redemption. Yea, the very trees of the desert, the most remote from the peopled city, in beholding the felicity of God's chosen, shall clap their hands also.   And mark, my soul, what is the running verse and chorus of this blessed song? It is Jehovah's glory; "for the Lo...

  "Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led captivity captive; Thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the L ORD God might dwell among them." - Psalm 68:18 [KJV]  What a painful thing it is to be rebellious! There is hardly any feeling worse than rebellion to a man whose conscience is made tender in God's fear. To have rebellion against a holy and wise God; rebellion against His dealings with us in providence; against His teachings in grace; because we have not more of the light of His countenance; because we have not more and clearer testimonies and manifestations! We know in our judgment that God cannot err in any of His dealings, and yet to find at times such awful rebellion against God, O how painful it is! The least trifle can work up rebellion. It does not want a storm or a gale to lift up its proud waves. The slightest breath, the faintest breeze that blows, will at times stir up the billows of the rebellious heart, and make it swell...
