The sweet fragrance of His life
4w ago00:01:00Summary readyIt’s what God saw in Christ—the sweetness that came out under pressure. Now sometimes today sweetness doesn’t come out of us under pressure. But the more tension upon Him the sweeter He was, and the Lord Jesus made this statement, “And He that sent me,” He says, “is with Me. The Father hath not left Me alone, for I do always those things that please Him.” And, therefore, believers have the high privilege of sharing Christ, you see, with God the Father. It’s what God sees in Christ. But what do you see in Him? Is there sweetness about Him? Have you smelled the sweetness and the fragrance of His life?
SummaryLook to Jesus
Jul 900:01:00Summary readyIt’s rather amusing to hear about these peaceful demonstrations, and they all end up in a brawl. Man today, he’s trying to perfect some very fiendish instruments of frightful destruction. That’s not the goal of man. God has another purpose and another thing in view for man. And if you want to see what He’s got in mind, look at Jesus. Here’s the man who pleased God. There was a glory in His manhood. The loveliness of Jesus was truly a sweet perfume. His coming was a doxology. His stay was a blessing. His departure was a benediction. And His winsomeness has filled the world with a new hope and an ideal concerning man.
SummaryTrust Him and live
Jul 800:01:00Summary ready“This Christ, the Lamb of God, the true burnt offering shall be accepted for thee to make an atonement for thee.” My friend, between you and your sins, do you have the sacrifice of Christ? Has His blood been shed that you might live? Have you trusted Him today? I say to you that’s all-important. God sees Christ as the One that can alone satisfy Him for your sins. Have you seen Him like that? Are you still trying to bring your little puny self and your little goodness and offer that to God? God won’t take that. He only accepts what Christ has done for you, and He makes over to you His righteousness. Trust Him today and live.
SummaryWe need holiness
Jul 700:01:00Summary readyIn Deuteronomy we’re told—Deuteronomy 4:24, “For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.” My friend, you’re not going to play around and get very far with God. That’s the reason that there’s so much that’s phony today in our churches. And there’s so much that’s phony today in Christian service. My friends, I want to say it kindly, but I want to say it: You’re not serving God unless you’re letting Him cleanse and purify your life. We’ve forgotten this matter of holiness today, and we need a little bit more of it in our churches.
SummaryHis death saves us
Jul 600:01:00Summary readyThe spotless life of Christ and our approval of Him does not save us. Only His death can save the sinner. Only His death opens the way to God. His perfect life shuts us out. Because if what God demands is the life of Christ, I can’t reproduce it. I know that, friend. And anyone that’s honest knows they can’t. Now if that’s the minimum standard and He can only say of Him, “He is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased,” then I must have another basis on which to come to God. But the minute that you and I come through the death of Christ, for that opened the way to God, and only the death can save a sinner.
SummaryAre you satisfied with His sacrifice?
Jul 300:01:00Summary readyPaul said in Ephesians 5:2, “… He is a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savor.” Now this is what God sees in Christ. It may not be what you see in Him or what I see in Him; it’s what God sees in Christ, and that’s the thing that’s all important. After all, what God is doing is saying He’s satisfied with what Jesus did for your sins and my sins. And actually, the gospel is just asking man, “Will you be satisfied with it?” God is satisfied that Jesus has paid it all for you. And that He can save you to the uttermost—if you’ll trust Him. Question is: Are you satisfied with that?
SummaryCome
Jul 200:01:00Summary readyThe Lord Jesus said, “If any man thirst, let him come ….” This is an all-inclusive invitation to the human family. None are excluded, except those who exclude themselves. The one condition is the Lord Jesus said, “If any man thirsts.” You say, “I don’t thirst.” Well then, maybe it wasn’t for you. But if you thirst, He says come to Him. He can satisfy you. Isaiah included this in his invitation when he said, “Ho, every one that thirsteth, come.” And anyone can come to Christ who chooses to come. You have a need and a desire? Come.
SummaryGo ye
Jul 100:01:00Summary ready“Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.” Now you see, we have Mark giving us more or less an order of the events after the resurrection. “He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, preach the gospel to every creature.” This has been a gospel of action. Now He’s telling them to get into action. They are to go. And by the way, He is saying to us today that we should be men and women of action for God. What are we doing today to get the Word of God out? That’s our business, friends. You ought to have some part in getting the Word of God out.
SummaryHe is risen
Jun 3000:01:00Summary readyThe bodily resurrection of Jesus is one of the cardinal doctrines of the Christian faith. It’s the very heart to the primitive gospel. Every sermon preached in the book of Acts is a message on the Resurrection. Every speaker got to this subject, and the early church dwelt upon it constantly. He is risen. That’s the thrilling message which electrified a lethargic and sinful generation in the Roman Empire, turned them upside down, wrong side out, and right side up, and they went out to tell the world about it. There’d be hope today if the church would preach this truth with much assurance, let me tell you.
SummaryFaith of the centurion
Jun 2900:01:00Summary ready“And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.” I believe that this was the confession of faith of the centurion. He acknowledged that Jesus was God’s Son. He acknowledged who He was and certainly what He was doing. I do not believe that this man had all the details of theology. But this man knew enough to take his place beneath the cross of Christ, and you know that’s all God’s asked any sinner to do—to come in faith to Him.
