“He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.”
John 14:9
That was surely a very strange thing for a man to say. Can we imagine John, the beloved disciple, saying of himself that those who had seen him had seen the Father? The fact that Christ said it shows that He was conscious of divinity, that [...]

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman”
John 15:1
This is a wonderful Vine. It grew up at first like “a root out of a dry ground, with no form nor comeliness.” the soil in which it was planted seemed to poor to produce anything good. But its origin was heavenly, and it [...]

Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me?”
John 14:9
There seems to be pain in the Master’s question. This disciple had been with Him for three years. He had seen His beautiful and gentle life. He had witnessed His works of power. Surely by this time, after such long [...]

“He answereth and saith unto them.”
Luke. 3:11
In John’s several answers to the different inquiries made of him we see that religion is not something entirely apart from our every-day life. He did not tell these men to fast for a week, or to leave their business and retire to a monastery, or to enter upon [...]

“He saw & the Spirit like a dove desending upon him.”
Mark 1:10
Even Christ with all His divine power needed the anointing of the Holy Spirit to set Him apart for His life-work, and to make Him ready for it. How much more do we, His disciples, need the same anointing before we are truly set [...]

“John answered & one mightier than I cometh.”
Luke. 3:11
There is somthing very fine in John’s behaviour on this occasion. The people were expecting Christ, and when John rose up in such brightness they were ready to accept him as the Messiah. So intense was the excitement, so wild was the enthusiasm, that almost the whole [...]
The Test of Life {J.R. Miller}

“And they were both righteous before God.”
Luke 1:6
This is a beautiful thing to have said of them. Yet, after all, that is the test which every life must endure. It is not enough to have human commendation: how do we stand before God? how does our life appear to Him? No matter how men praise [...]
