A LESSON ON OFFENSES AND FORGIVENESS. On offenses:... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN SAID HE UNTO THE DISCIPLES, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE BUT THAT OFFENSES WILL COME; BUT WOE UNTO HIM THROUGH WHOM THEY COME!... [ Continue Reading ]
IT WERE BETTER FOR HIM THAT A MILLSTONE WERE HANGED ABOUT HIS NECK AND HE CAST INTO THE SEA THAN THAT HE SHOULD OFFEND ONE OF THESE LITTLE ONES. In this chapter we have a number of lessons which were given, and incidents which took place, during the last journey of the Lord to Jerusalem. He did not... [ Continue Reading ]
TAKE HEED TO YOURSELVES: IF THY BROTHER TRESPASS AGAINST THEE, REBUKE HIM; AND IF HE REPENT, FORGIVE HIM.... [ Continue Reading ]
Concerning forgiveness:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND IF HE TRESPASS AGAINST THEE SEVEN TIMES A DAY, AND SEVEN TIMES IN A DAY TURN AGAIN TO THEE, SAYING, I REPENT, THOU SHALT FORGIVE HIM.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THE APOSTLES SAID UNTO THE LORD, INCREASE OUR FAITH.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THE LORD SAID, IF YE HAD FAITH AS A GRAIN OF MUSTARD-SEED, YE MIGHT SAY UNTO THIS SYCAMINE TREE, BE THOU PLUCKED UP BY THE ROOT, AND BE THOU PLANTED IN THE SEA, AND IT SHOULD OBEY YOU. The children of the world make it a point literally to scandalize, give offense with deliberate intent to hurt... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT WHICH OF YOU, HAVING A SERVANT PLOWING OR FEEDING CATTLE, WILL SAY UNTO HIM BY AND BY WHEN HE IS COME FROM THE FIELD, GO AND SIT DOWN TO MEAT;... [ Continue Reading ]
No merit in works:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND WILL NOT RATHER SAY UNTO HIM, MAKE READY WHEREWITH I MAY SUP, AND GIRD THYSELF, AND SERVE ME, TILL I HAVE EATEN AND DRUNKEN, AND AFTERWARD THOU SHALT EAT AND DRINK?... [ Continue Reading ]
DOTH HE THANK THAT SERVANT BECAUSE HE DID THE THINGS THAT WERE COMMANDED HIM? I TROW NOT.... [ Continue Reading ]
SO LIKEWISE YE, WHEN YE SHALL HAVE DONE ALL THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE COMMANDED YOU, SAY, WE ARE UNPROFITABLE SERVANTS; WE HAVE DONE THAT WHICH WAS OUR DUTY TO DO. Since faith, according to the Lord's own explanation, shows itself in good works, in deeds of mercy and forgiveness and other miraculous ac... [ Continue Reading ]
AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS HE WENT TO JERUSALEM, THAT HE PASSED THROUGH THE MIDST OF SAMARIA AND GALILEE.... [ Continue Reading ]
THE TEN LEPERS. The cleansing:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND AS HE ENTERED INTO A CERTAIN VILLAGE, THERE MET HIM TEN MEN THAT WERE LEPERS, WHICH STOOD AFAR OFF;... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THEY LIFTED UP THEIR VOICES, AND SAID, JESUS, MASTER, HAVE MERCY ON US.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND WHEN HE SAW THEM, HE SAID UNTO THEM, GO SHOW YOURSELVES UNTO THE PRIESTS. AND IT CAME TO PASS THAT, AS THEY WENT, THEY WERE CLEANSED. Jesus did not travel to Jerusalem by the shortest route, but journeyed by easy stages along the boundary between Galilee and Samaria, now in the one, then again i... [ Continue Reading ]
AND ONE OF THEM, WHEN HE SAW THAT HE WAS HEALED, TURNED BACK, AND WITH A LOUD VOICE GLORIFIED GOD,... [ Continue Reading ]
The grateful Samaritan:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND FELL DOWN ON HIS FACE AT HIS FEET, GIVING HIM THANKS; AND HE WAS A SAMARITAN.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND JESUS, ANSWERING, SAID, WERE THERE NOT TEN CLEANSED? BUT WHERE ARE THE NINE?... [ Continue Reading ]
THERE ARE NOT FOUND THAT RETURNED TO GIVE GLORY TO GOD SAVE THIS STRANGER.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND HE SAID UNTO HIM, ARISE, GO THY WAY; THY FAITH HATH MADE THEE WHOLE. Ten lepers had shown faith; ten lepers had been healed. But out of that entire number only one felt the obligation of thankfulness. Only one, seeing what a miracle had been done in his case, felt the need of turning back and gi... [ Continue Reading ]
AND WHEN HE WAS DEMANDED OF THE PHARISEES WHEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD SHOULD COME, HE ANSWERED THEM AND SAID, THE KINGDOM OF GOD COMETH NOT WITH OBSERVATION;... [ Continue Reading ]
CONCERNING THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND THE COMING OF CHRIST. Of the coming of the kingdom:... [ Continue Reading ]
NEITHER SHALL THEY SAY, LO HERE! OR, LO THERE! FOR, BEHOLD, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND HE SAID UNTO THE DISCIPLES, THE DAYS WILL COME WHEN YE SHALL DESIRE TO SEE ONE OF THE DAYS OF THE SON OF AN, AND YE SHALL NOT SEE IT.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THEY SHALL SAY TO YOU, SEE HERE; OR, SEE THERE; GO NOT AFTER THEM, NOR FOLLOW THEM.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR AS THE LIGHTNING THAT LIGHTENETH OUT OF THE ONE PART UNDER HEAVEN SHINETH UNTO THE OTHER PART UNDER HEAVEN, SO SHALL ALSO THE SON OF MAN BE IN HIS DAY.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT FIRST MUST HE SUFFER MANY THINGS, AND BE REJECTED OF THIS GENERATION. The resentful, peevish attitude of the Pharisees came to the front with increasing frequency. Here Jesus was approached by them with a question which was intended to make Him an object of ridicule. His continual reference to t... [ Continue Reading ]
AND AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF NOE, SO SHALL IT BE ALSO IN THE DAYS OF THE SON OF MAN.... [ Continue Reading ]
The suddenness of Christ's advent:... [ Continue Reading ]
THEY DID EAT, THEY DRANK, THEY MARRIED WIVES, THEY WERE GIVEN IN MARRIAGE, UNTIL THE DAY THAT NOE ENTERED INTO THE ARK, AND THE FLOOD CAME, AND DESTROYED THEM ALL.... [ Continue Reading ]
LIKEWISE ALSO AS IT WAS IN THE DAYS OF LOT; THEY DID EAT, THEY DRANK, THEY BOUGHT, THEY SOLD, THEY PLANTED, THEY BUILT;... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT THE SAME DAY THAT LOT WENT OUT OF SODOM IT RAINED FIRE AND BRIMSTONE FROM HEAVEN, AND DESTROYED THEM ALL.... [ Continue Reading ]
EVEN THUS SHALL, IT BE IN THE DAY WHEN THE SON OF MAN IS REVEALED. The distinguishing characteristic of the time just preceding the final advent of Christ, the Son of Man, will be an indifferent carelessness. The days of Noah are an example. The warning had gone out through the mouth of this preache... [ Continue Reading ]
IN THAT DAY, HE WHICH SHALL BE UPON THE HOUSETOP, AND HIS STUFF IN THE HOUSE, LET HIM NOT COME DOWN TO TAKE IT AWAY; AND HE THAT IS IN THE FIELD, LET HIM LIKEWISE NOT RETURN BACK.... [ Continue Reading ]
Final warnings:... [ Continue Reading ]
REMEMBER LOT'S WIFE.... [ Continue Reading ]
WHOSOEVER SHALL SEEK TO SAVE HIS LIFE SHALL LOSE IT; AND WHOSOEVER SHALL LOSE HIS LIFE SHALL PRESERVE IT.... [ Continue Reading ]
I TELL YOU, IN THAT NIGHT THERE SHALL BE TWO MEN IN ONE BED; THE ONE SHALL BE TAKEN, AND THE OTHER SHALL BE LEFT.... [ Continue Reading ]
TWO WOMEN SHALL BE GRINDING TOGETHER; THE ONE SHALL BE TAKEN, AND THE OTHER LEFT.... [ Continue Reading ]
Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THEY ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIM, WHERE, LORD? AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, WHERESOEVER THE BODY IS, THITHER WILL THE EAGLES BE GATHERED TOGETHER. The thought which stands out from the Lord's warning is this, that it will be too late to prepare for the Lord's coming when His hour has come, when the Jud... [ Continue Reading ]
