“Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole.”
John 5:8,9
The man might have said, “Why, I cannot rise. That is the very thing which I have not been able for thirty-eight years. Take up my bed! Why, I could not lift a feather; and as for [...]

Ye shall walk after the LORD your God,
and fear him,
and keep his commandments,
and obey his voice,
and ye shall serve him,
and cleave unto him.
Deuteronomy 13:4

“They straightway left their nets, and followed him.”
Matthew 4:20
Their nets were probably all they had. It was with these that they earned their living. Yet at the call of Christ they gave up all, cut themselves off from their means of support, and in simple obedience and faith went with Him. That is just the [...]

The world knew him not.
That’s what the Holy Spirit said in John 1:10, “He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.”
The world knew Him not.
That is an amazing fact. At face value, this Scripture teaches that creation did not recognise its Creator.
Have you ever pondered [...]
Our Heart, Christ’s Kingdom {J.R. Miller}

“Whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment:”
Matthew 5:22
We ought to learn to read the commandments with the light of our Lord’s explanation upon them. So long as the sixth commandment is interpreted to mean only actual murder, most people get along pretty well with it; they [...]

Men with a vision are builders. Noah and the ark, Abraham and his family, Moses and Israel, Solomon and the temple. Men who see what God gives them to see, men who have a real vision from God are builders. The Lord Jesus Christ said that He would build His church. When He rose from [...]

“I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way.”
Mark 2:11
That was surely a very strange command to give to a paralyzed man. He could not rise up. He could not lift up his bed. He could not walk a step. He was as helpless as a corpse. Why did Jesus [...]

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in My Name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. [...]
The Fatherhood of God {J.R. Miller}

How it would brighten and bless our lives if we were to carry always in our hearts the conception of God as our Father! When we can look up into God’s face and say out of warm and responding hearts, “Our Father,” all the world and all life take on new aspects for our eyes. [...]

“A certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.”
John 5:5
That was a long time to be sick. It is very hard to be an invalid year after year. This day’s reading may come to some who have been thus afflicted, and we may as well stop a minute to think about [...]

“When he saw their faith.”
Luke 5:20
So far as we know no one had spoken a word to Jesus about the sick man, but there really was no need for words. The pains at which the friends had been to get this poor sufferer into the presence of Christ told of a very strong faith. The [...]

I must work the works of him that sent me,
while it is day:
the night cometh,
when no man can work.
