Resource Manager Posted October 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 26 October 2013"Hope draws confidence from the past and gains assurance for the future: and its assurance is in God, who is truth. When Isaiah says of the Coming One, "To him shall the Gentiles seek", Paul makes a subtle transition: "On him shall the Gentiles hope" (Romans 15:2, R.V.)."- L.G. SargentNow Abideth ...

Resource Manager Posted October 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 27 October 2013"These are some of the thoughts which arise as we contemplate the joy of Jesus in his work as Son of man. The whole matter is fittingly summed up by the contrast between the first New Testament occurrence of the name and the last. In the first ... we are told that he had not where to lay his head. The last, in the Book of Revelation, foresees the future, and bids us know that the head which once found no place of rest will yet be crowned with a golden crown."- F.E.

We shall be led thereinto by One who knows how to bind up the "brokenhearted and to comfort them that mourn," who will see to it that "they hunger no more neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."- Ernest PittHis Foundations (1924) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resource Manager Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 29 October 2013"We truly magnify him only by imitating his example to the best of our ability. We are called to show forth the praises (margin: “virtues”) of him who has called us (1 Peter 2:9). That is, we magnify the Lord’s mercy by being merciful ourselves. We magnify his forgiveness by being forgiving. We show forth his compassion to the extent that his compassion is in us. We magnify his grace by inviting others to seek the Lord."- N.

Resource Manager Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 30 October 2013"Today, the Divine Potter is still making cruses to contain the precious oil of enlightenment, so that some can be enlightened now, and so that the whole world shall be enlightened in the kingdom age, when every man shall know the Lord. In that day Israel will export spiritual oil to all the nations for their enlightenment. Paul wrote to Timothy about the preparation for that day, hoping that he might be "a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work" (2 Timothy 2:21)"- John V.
