Resource Manager Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 26 October 2014 "When we begin to know "the love of Christ that passeth knowledge" (Ephesians 3:19), we shall find ourselves beginning to be able to do what he commands, even when it goes against the grain. We shall be able to do good to them that hate us, and certainly to refrain from rendering evil to them who do evil to us. To have the heart open to love in all directions for his sake brings even now "the peace of God that passeth all understanding," and will at last be requited by such a harvest of love as shall surpass our utmost dreams, in the day when God shall root the wicked and the unloving out of the earth, and suffer only His own tried and loving family, who will be united in Him to one another by everlasting bonds of incorruptibility and life that will never pass away." - Robert RobertsThe Law of Moses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resource Manager Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 27 October 2014 "We believe that Jesus died and rose again. Those who have fallen asleep in him are not lost for ever; those of you who mourn the loss of a loved one or a dear friend, grasp hold of the imperishable reality, that in the day of resurrection hand will clasp hand again and heart will clasp heart in reunion. The grave is only Winter, and after Winter comes Spring with its wonderful resurrections, in which everything beautiful that seemed lost, springs forth into life." - Anthony HigginsonComfort one another with these Words (1978) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resource Manager Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 28 October 2014 "Jesus helps us to appreciate true values. He speaks of earthly treasures or of setting our hearts on more lasting things. He speaks of being motivated by greed and money, or of making God the vital force in our lives. He speaks of basing our lives on the sands of uncertainty, or of being firmly based on the rock of his unchanging standards. He speaks of going with the crowd along the broad way, or of being part of a minority on the narrow road of truth ... Jesus did not pass opinions like the scribes. He did not quote Rabbis and traditions ... Jesus knew God’s will. He spoke with authority, the authority of God whose word it was." - John S.

Resource Manager Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 29 October 2014 "The Spirit of God wrote through the Psalmist: "Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts." "Today" was still present, and the voice was still calling when the letter to the Hebrews was written, and so the exhortation is repeated: "Today, if ye will hear his voice ..." (Hebrews 3:7). "Today" is still the day of opportunity, and the exhortation of the Spirit still goes forth: "Today, if ye will hear his voice ..." - Peter WatkinsOur Sure Foundation (1961) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resource Manager Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 30 October 2014"It is possible that when Paul wrote those words in 1 Corinthians 13, every time he wrote the word love he thought the name Christ, whose name he bore before Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel. He could, then, have written thus: "Christ is very patient, very kind. Christ knows no jealousy; Christ makes no parade, gives himself no airs, is never rude, never selfish, never irritated, never resentful; Christ is never glad when others go wrong, Christ is gladdened by goodness, always slow to expose, always eager to believe the best, always hopeful, always patient. Christ never faileth!"- Cyril CooperReflections (1958) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resource Manager Posted October 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 31 October 2014"When we have the opportunity to meet Jesus for the first time face to face, let us hope that he may see in us something of Zacchaeus: a sinner who had done his best to reform, a follower who was prepared to make a personal sacrifice for Christ, and finally a disciple whose faith is such that it really could move mountains."- Peter J.
