Resource Manager Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 26 September 2014 "... This immeasurable greatness of God’s power, this “working of his great might which he accomplished in Christ when he raised him from the dead and made him sit at his right hand in the heavenly places”, works also in us who believe, for he has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places. For though the Lord is so highly exalted he is not remote from his brethren; he is able to have compassion on “them that are out of the way”, and the fellowship which he has with the Father he shares with us." - Alfred NichollsSeated at God’s Right Hand (1980) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resource Manager Posted September 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 27 September 2014 "While he was perfect in character, unfailing in his service, unblemished in his sacrifice, one “altogether lovely,” he was yet a man, a member of our race, tempted in all points as we are tempted. Although he is so exceptional, he is yet our example, whose steps we are exhorted to follow. So Paul, exhorting the Philippians to be lowly in mind, turns to Jesus as the pattern in this virtue of humility." - John CarterThe Humility of Christ (1944) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shall we not in our provision for those about us manifest a similar abundant goodness? Do not let us be afraid of seeming to be extravagant in the riches of our giving, and, although the lesson is perhaps less needed, do not let us be ungracious in our acceptance of the tokens of an overflowing love. So may there be manifested in our lives a graciousness of being that mirrors the character of Him who clothed the grass of the field with all its matchless beauty." - J.G.

Resource Manager Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 30 September 2014 "The little flock to which the Father will give the kingdom is made up of men and women who with child-like humility have submitted themselves freely to the moulding influence of the Word. They have an enduring faith in that which God has promised, they render obedience to that which God has commanded. They have no confidence in the flesh but implicit trust in the power of God to save." - Islip CollyerRepentance, Conversion, Communion and Transformation (1954) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
