Faithfulness is rewarded
“It came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.” You see, the important thing is that while He’s away, friends, He’s given […]
He doesn’t need our vote
“He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.” You see, He’s gone back to heaven. He gets the kingdom from the Father, not from you and me. We don’t vote Him in. When He comes next time, we’re told that He’ll dash them […]
A changed house
“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” First of all, let me say that this man Zacchaeus came to the door, and he didn’t say, “Jesus saves and keeps and satisfies.” Now that’s a good testimony if it’s the truth when you give it. He didn’t […]
Man needs, God is able
Our Lord, every time He talked to anyone, He always talked about two things: man’s need and, second, God’s ability to meet that need. Well, He didn’t have to tell Zacchaeus he was a sinner; Zacchaeus knew it. And the second thing He told him about, God’s ability. “Jesus said unto him, This day is […]
Don’t faint, pray
God’s no unjust judge. And you can afford to just keep going to Him in prayer and, if you really mean business, you’re going to move the arm of God one way or another. And He may make it clear to you that He’s not going to do the thing exactly as you want it […]
Strive in prayer
Paul uses a very wonderful expression. We need this kind of help today. It’s over in Romans, the 15th chapter, and Verse 30. Listen to Paul; he says, “Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ’s sake and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers […]
A faith duet
“If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus”—and that’s your vow. That’s your statement of faith. “And shall believe in thine heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” The point of it is, it’s not just what the mouth says; it’s what the heart believes, friends. And […]
Accepted and beloved
He took my place down here and He’s given me His place up there. And I say this reverently, but I want to say it. That if you are saved today, friends, you have as much right in heaven as Christ has. Did you know that? You have His right to be there. And if […]
Simple truth
The only thing God asks you to do is to look—look to Christ. He is taking your place there. You’re a sinner. You deserve to die. He does not deserve to die. And it’s just that simple. Either you’re looking to Christ as your Savior because you’re a sinner or you’re not doing it, friends. […]
He is always there
May I say to you today, we have a priest who ever lives to make intercession for us. He’s a priest after the order of Melchizedek, had no beginning or ending of days. He’ll not die. He died for us down here; He lives for us up there. And He’ll always be there for you. […]
