Devotional And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. Luke 2:10 Rightly so! We have the angelic warrant for rejoicing because Christ is born. It is a truth so full of joy that it caused the angel [...]
Devotional "All the fulness of the Godhead bodily." Colossians 2:9 The ability to package immense Bible truths within a very few words was a gift given Paul by the Holy Spirit.

Devotional The same lesson is taught in a very striking way in the second passage in Luke to which I have already referred, Luke 18:1-8: “And He spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint; saying, There was in a city a judge, [...]
Devotional “O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.” Psalm 65:2 There come times in each life when loneliness overshadows like a cloud, and no one is there to listen and provide counsel.

Devotional "I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep."

Devotional "The Lord mighty in battle." Psalm 24:8 Well, may our God be glorious in the eyes of His people, seeing that He has wrought such wonders for them, in them, and by them. For them, the Lord Jesus upon Calvary routed every foe, breaking all the weapons of the enemy in pieces [...]
Devotional The disciples ought to have known Jesus. They had heard His voice so often and gazed upon that marred face so frequently that it is wonderful they did not discover Him. Yet is it not so with you also? You have not seen Jesus lately. You have been to His table, and [...]
Devotional "Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation." — Luke 22:46 When is the Christian most liable to sleep? Is it not when his temporal circumstances are prosperous? Have you not found it so? When you had daily troubles to take to the throne of grace, were you not more [...]
