THE SADDEST THING

Mark 13:1-9

The saddest thing is to be untrue to God’s plan for one’s life. The Jewish Temple was the heart of the Jewish nation. It enshrined all that the nation stood for. It represented the national ideal—faithfulness to God and to their God-given world-mission. They were untrue to God and to their world-mission. So they were destroyed as a nation (not as a people). But they are to have another chance. The patience of God!

Ephesians 2:8-9  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

THE DEBT OF LOVE

2Corinthians 8:9-15

The Jew was taxed a tenth, and made freewill offerings besides. All the Christian has belongs to God. Whatever we have is his, because we are his. It is given us in trust, to be administered conscientiously as his Spirit suggests. We are to owe no man anything. Yet we are badly in debt. It is a debt of love, due to God, payable to man. We pay it only by giving freely as the Spirit directs.

1 Peter 5:9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

LOVE BREEDS LOVE

Psalms 116:1-14

Our love to God grows out of his love for us. He does so much for us. We may forget him, but he never forgets any man. He gives us our breath continuously; else our lives would quickly snuff out. He gives us bed and bread, shelter of roof, warmth of fire, sunshine and rain. He gave his Son’s blood for us on Calvary. If a man stop to think even a bit, the answering love must come.

1 Peter 5:8  Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

THE DAY

Psalms 2:1-12

Some day man’s opportunity will have had full run. God’s patience will have endured the tangle of earth to the full for man’s sake. Then the King will rise up from his seat. He will step into action anew on the earth. He will put an end to the control of evil, clean up the earth, right the wrong, and heal the broken-hearted. We hasten the glad day by being true now to the King.

Ephesians 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

THE JESUS POISE

Mark 12:35-44

The heart should join with the mind in holding the reins of the life. They ought to drive abreast, not tandem. Then lips and purse and life will ring true, and ring together. Not the heart without the head; not the head without the heart; each balancing the other: all the powers working in unison. This reveals the Jesus touch, and gives the Jesus poise. But it’s possible really, practically, only as Jesus is in control.
