Christ’s first and last subject

Christ’s first and last subject

“From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17. “And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” 

Luke 24:47

Suggested Further Reading: 

Philippians 3:1-14

If you are renewed by grace, and were to meet your old self, 

I am sure you would be very anxious to get out of his company. “No,” say you, “No, sir, I cannot accompany you.” 

“Why, you used to swear!” “I cannot now.” 

“Well, but,” says he, “You and I are very near companions.” “Yes, I know we are, and I wish we were not. You are a deal of trouble to me every day. I wish I could be rid of you for ever.” “But,” says Old Self, “you used to drink very well.” 

“Yes, I know it. I know you did, indeed, Old Self. 

You could sing a song as merrily as any one.

 You were ringleader in all sorts of vice, but I am no relation of yours now. 

You are of the old Adam, and I of the new Adam. 

You are of your old father, the devil; but I have another—my Father, who is in heaven.”

 I tell you, brethren, there is no man in the world you will hate so much as your old self, and there will be nothing you will so much long to get rid of as that old man who once was dragging you down to hell, and who will try his hand at it over and over again every day you live, and who will accomplish it yet, unless that divine grace which has made you a new man shall keep you a new man even to the end. 

Good Rowland Hill, in his “Village Dialogues,” gives the Christian, whom he describes in the first part of the book, the name of Thomas Newman. 

Every man who goes to heaven must have the name of new-man. We must not expect to enter there unless we are created anew in Christ Jesus.

For meditation:

 In our testimonies we should own up to what we used to be, 

but in such a way that we also disown the people we used to be. Don’t be like the biography of a Christian which seems to glory in the sin of the past—reserve all the glory for your Saviour 

(1 Corinthians 15:9,10; 1 Timothy 1:13-17).

Sermon no. 329

20 August (Preached 19 August 1860)

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

 If you are not a believer in Jesus Christ, 

you can be accepted into his kingdom. 

 I invite you to let him to make of you what He always wanted. 

"PRAYER" 

Marvelous God Almighty, 

 I come to you in the precious name of Jesus, 

who died for me to make me free of sin, 

 I want Jesus to enter in to my heart and make me free.

 I confess that He is the son of God.

 I ask to change my heart and to give me wisdom to understand your Holy Word full of promises of eternal value,

 not only to live on this earth, 

but to be expectant of my life in heaven.

 In the precious name of Jesus I ask. 

Amen..

“The true minister of Christ knows that the true value of a sermon must lie, 

 not in its fashion and manner, 

but in the truth which it contains.”
