“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 [...]

“For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Philippians 1:21
These words express, as none others could, the secret of Paul’s wonderful missionary activity and his deep devotion to the will of the Lord. From the moment when divine grace arrested him on the Damascus road to his last hour on earth, [...]

“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 [...]

“The wrath to come.” Matthew 3:7
It is pleasant to pass over a country after a storm has spent itself; to smell the freshness of the herbs after the rain has passed away, and to note the drops while they glisten like purest diamonds in the sunlight. That is the position of a Christian. He is [...]
