Particular redemption

Particular redemption

“Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.”

 Matthew 20:28

Suggested Further Reading: 

Matthew 27:45-54

See the Saviour’s limbs, how they quiver! 

Every bone has been put out of joint by the dashing of the cross into that socket! 

How he weeps! 

How he sighs!

How he sobs! Indeed, how at last he shrieks in agony, 

“My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” 

O sun, no wonder thou didst shut thine eye, and look no longer upon a deed so cruel! O rocks! no wonder that ye did melt and rend your hearts with sympathy, when your Creator died! Never man suffered as this man suffered. 

Even death itself relented, and many of those who had been in their graves arose and came into the city. 

This however, is but the outward. Believe me, brethren, the inward was far worse. 

What our Saviour suffered in his body was nothing, compared with what he endured in his soul.

 You cannot guess, and

 I cannot help you to guess, what he endured within.

 Suppose for one moment—to repeat a sentence I have often used—suppose a man who has passed into hell—suppose his eternal torment could all be brought into one hour; and then suppose it could be multiplied by the number of the saved, which is a number past all human enumeration. 

Can you now think what a vast aggregate of misery there would have been in the sufferings of God’s people, if they had been punished through all eternity? And recollect that Christ had to suffer an equivalent for all the hells of all his redeemed. 

I can never express that thought better than by using those 

oft-repeated words: it seemed as if hell was put into his cup; 

he seized it, and, “At one tremendous draught of love, he drank damnation dry.”

 So that there was nothing left of all the pangs and miseries of hell for his people ever to endure.

For meditation:

 The secret things of the sufferings of Christ belong to the Lord our God (Deuteronomy 29:29)—we could never begin to take them in. But God has given us a glimpse behind the scenes—meditate on the alternate torment and trust recorded in Psalm 22:1-21.

A blast of the trumpet against false peace

GUATEMALA, CENTRO AMERICA

A blast of the trumpet against false peace

“Peace, peace, when there is no peace.”

 Jeremiah 6:14

Suggested Further Reading: 

1 Corinthians 1:18-25

Many of the people of London enjoy peace in their hearts, because they are ignorant of the things of God. 

It would positively alarm many of our sober orthodox Christians, if they could once have an idea of the utter ignorance of spiritual things that reigns throughout this land. 

Some of us, when moving about here and there, in all classes of society, have often been left to remark, that there is less known of the truths of religion than of any science, however obscure that science may be. 

Take as a lamentable instance, the ordinary effusions of the secular press, and who can avoid remarking the ignorance they manifest as to true religion. 

Let the papers speak on politics, it is a matter they understand, and their ability is astonishing; but, once let them touch religion, and our Sabbath-school children could convict them of entire ignorance. 

The statements they put forth are so crude, so remote from the fact, that we are led to imagine that the presentation of a fourpenny testament to special correspondents, should be one of the first efforts of our societies for spreading the gospel among the heathen. 

As to theology, some of our great writers seem to be as little versed in it as a horse or a cow. Go among all ranks and classes of men, and since the day we gave up our catechism, and old Dr Watts’ and the Assemblies’ ceased to be used, people have not a clear idea of what is meant by the gospel of Christ.

 I have frequently heard it asserted, by those who have judged the modern pulpit without severity, that if a man attended a course of thirteen lectures on geology, he would get a pretty clear idea of the system, but that you might hear not merely thirteen sermons, but thirteen hundred sermons and you would not have a clear idea of the system of divinity that was meant to be taught.

For meditation:

 The unconverted by themselves cannot understand the truths of the Gospel when they hear them unless God enlightens them (1 Corinthians 2:14; 2 Corinthians 4:4). But there are parts of the country where they would find it very hard to hear the truths of the Gospel being preached (Amos 8:11,12).

O Lord of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy upon Jerusalem?

GUATEMALA, CENTRO AMERICA.

"O Lord of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy upon Jerusalem? ... And the Lord answered the angel ... with good words and comfortable words."

Zechariah 1:12-13

What a sweet answer to an anxious enquiry! 

This night let us rejoice in it. O Zion, there are good things in store for thee; thy time of travail shall soon be over; thy children shall be brought forth; thy captivity shall end. 

Bear patiently the rod for a season, and under the darkness still trust in God, for his love burneth towards thee. 

God loves the church with a love too deep for human imagination: he loves her with all his infinite heart. 

Therefore let her sons be of good courage; she cannot be far from prosperity to whom God speaketh "good words and comfortable words." What these comfortable words are the prophet goes on to tell us: "I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy." 

The Lord loves his church so much that he cannot bear that she should go astray to others; and when she has done so, he cannot endure that she should suffer too much or too heavily.

 He will not have his enemies afflict her: he is displeased with them because they increase her misery. 
When God seems most to leave his church, his heart is warm towards her. 

History shows that whenever God uses a rod to chasten his servants, he always breaks it afterwards, as if he loathed the rod which gave his children pain. 

"Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him." God hath not forgotten us because he smites--his blows are no evidences of want of love. 
If this is true of his church collectively, it is of necessity true also of each individual member. 

You may fear that the Lord has passed you by, but it is not so: he who counts the stars, and calls them by their names, is in no danger of forgetting his own children. 

He knows your case as thoroughly as if you were the only creature he ever made, or the only saint he ever loved. 

Approach him and be at peace.

"The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power."

"The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power."

Nahum 1:3

Jehovah "is slow to anger." 

When mercy cometh into the world she driveth winged steeds; the axles of her chariot-wheels are red hot with speed; but when wrath goeth forth, it toileth on with tardy footsteps, for God taketh no pleasure in the sinner's death. 

God's rod of mercy is ever in his hands outstretched; his sword of justice is in its scabbard, held down by that pierced hand of love which bled for the sins of men. 

"The Lord is slow to anger," because he is great in power. 

He is truly great in power who hath power over himself. 

When God's power doth restrain himself, then it is power indeed: the power that binds omnipotence is omnipotence surpassed. 

A man who has a strong mind can bear to be insulted long, and only resents the wrong when a sense of right demands his action. The weak mind is irritated at a little: the strong mind bears it like a rock which moveth not, though a thousand breakers dash upon it, and cast their pitiful malice in spray upon its summit.

 God marketh his enemies, and yet he bestirs not himself, but holdeth in his anger. If he were less divine than he is, he would long ere this have sent forth the whole of his thunders, and emptied the magazines of heaven; he would long ere this have blasted the earth with the wondrous fires of its lower regions, and man would have been utterly destroyed; but the greatness of his power brings us mercy.

 Dear reader, what is your state this evening? 

Can you by humble faith look to Jesus, and say, 

"My substitute, thou art my rock, my trust"? 

Then, beloved, be not afraid of God's power; for by faith you have fled to Christ for refuge, the power of God need no more terrify you, than the shield and sword of the warrior need terrify those whom he loves. 

Rather rejoice that he who is "great in power" is your Father and Friend.

" Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil."

GUATEMALA, GUATEMALA

"Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil."

Matthew 4:1

A holy character does not avert temptation--Jesus was tempted. When Satan tempts us, his sparks fall upon tinder; but in Christ's case, it was like striking sparks on water; yet the enemy continued his evil work. 

Now, if the devil goes on striking when there is no result, how much more will he do it when he knows what inflammable stuff our hearts are made of. Though you become greatly sanctified by the Holy Ghost, expect that the great dog of hell will bark at you still. In the haunts of men we expect to be tempted, but even seclusion will not guard us from the same trial. 

Jesus Christ was led away from human society into the wilderness, and was tempted of the devil. Solitude has its charms and its benefits, and may be useful in checking the lust of the eye and the pride of life; but the devil will follow us into the most lovely retreats.

Do not suppose that it is only the worldly-minded who have dreadful thoughts and blasphemous temptations, for even spiritual-minded persons endure the same; and in the holiest position we may suffer the darkest temptation. The utmost consecration of spirit will not insure you against Satanic temptation.

 Christ was consecrated through and through. It was his meat and drink to do the will of him that sent him: and yet he was tempted! Your hearts may glow with a seraphic flame of love to Jesus, and yet the devil will try to bring you down to Laodicean lukewarmness.

If you will tell me when God permits a Christian to lay aside his armour, I will tell you when Satan has left off temptation.
Like the old knights in war time, we must sleep with helmet and breastplate buckled on, for the arch-deceiver will seize our first unguarded hour to make us his prey.

The Lord keep us watchful in all seasons, and give us a final escape from the jaw of the lion and the paw of the bear.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

If you are not a believer in Jesus Christ,

you can be accepted in to his kingdom. 

 I invite you to let him to make of you what
