CHAPTER 18 MATTHEW 18:6-14 OUR KING’S WARNING AGAINST OFFENSES, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHICH INJURE THE LITTLE ONES 6. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. To bless a little one is to entertain the Savior himself. To set one’s self to pervert the simple,…

Christ Is All and In All — Colossians 3:11. Have you ever felt that, as a follower of Christ, you are a complete failure? In this scenario you have 2 choices: 1). Quit. 2). Learn to believingly preach the Gospel to yourself! What do I mean by preaching the Gospel to yourselves? I mean that we should continually remind ourselves that our acceptance in Heaven is neither because of us nor because of…

THE VANITY OF Childish-Baptisme, And of Sprinkling, or washing, any part of the Body, for Baptisme; Briefly examined.     THAT Baptism is a great Ordinance of the New Testament, And that it is the duty of every true Believer, or Disciple of Jesus Christ, to submit thereunto, cannot be denied: for Christ commands his Disciples, Math. 28:19. to go and make Disciples of all Nations, Baptizing them,…

By undeserved and sovereign goodness the Israelites were chosen to be the people of God, and their obedience to the law was never intended to purchase immunities or advantages not already theirs. Such an idea is preposterous. No, their obedience simply preserved to them the possession of what God had previously bestowed. The moral law made known the character and conduct which He required from…

4. Having thus removed the mask and shown the desperate case of the sinner the relentless law causes the offense to abound yet more by bringing home the sentence of condemnation. It mounts the judgment seat, puts on the black cap, and pronounces the sentence of death. With a harsh unpitying voice it solemnly thunders forth the words, “Condemned already.” It bids the soul prepare its defense,…

Objection 1. NOW follow certain answers to divers objections; As First Matt. 19. 13. 14. In which it is clear, children were brought to Christ, therefore he dipped them, or it was their right, say they. Answer. Answ. 1. It doth not follow, that because Christ received, and blessed them, that therefore he dipped them, for he dipped none at all, John. 4. 2. but his Disciples. Edward Barber- A Small…

CHAPTER 18 MATTHEW 18:1-5 THE KING ARRANGES RANK IN HIS KINGDOM 1. AT the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? He spoke of his abasement, they thought of their own advancement; and that “at the same time.” How different at the same moment the Teacher and the disciples! The idea of greatness, and of more or less of it for each one, was…

Christ Is All and In All — Colossians 3:11. The Gospel believer holds that Jesus is the sum and substance of our wonderful gospel! In the Gospel, we are presented with the Lord Jesus Christ, the God/Man. The Gospel declares the wonderful facts of His incarnation and impeccable life. These indeed are wonderful truths, but they are not the sum total of our Gospel. There is much more! By the way, if…

TO THE READER. _____________________________ HAVING with most serious thoughts minded divers texts of Scripture, which does evidently set out Baptism to be an undoubted pledge from God, to all the right Subjects to whom it is applied, of the free Pardon and Remission of all their Sins, Mar. 1:4 and 16:16 Acts 2:3, 8 and 22:16; 1 Pet. 3:21. And finding also That Baptism is designed only to…

The Sinaitic covenant was supplementary and subsidiary to the Abrahamic, serving to promote both its natural and spiritual ends. Its object was not to convey, but to direct life. Its immediate design was to make clear to Abraham’s seed how it behooved them to act toward God and toward each other, as a chosen generation, as the people of Jehovah. It made evident the character and conduct required…

3. The law reveals the exceeding abundance of sin, by discovering to us the depravity of our nature. We are all prepared to charge the serpent with our guilt, or to insinuate that we go astray, from the force of ill example — but the Holy Spirit dissipates these dreams by bringing the law into the heart. Then the fountains of the great deep are broken up, the chambers of imagery are opened, the…

Now the Lord Jesus came not till the fullness of time, Gal. 4. 5. and when he was come, never undertook any Administration, though he were heir of all things, Heb. 1. 3. but in an orderly way, as hath been shewed, nor will he contract marriage with any, though the husband of all his Church and members, Hosea 2. 19. I will bethroth them unto me in Righteousness, And in Judgment, and in loving…

CHAPTER 17 MATTHEW 17:24-27 OUR KING AND THE TRIBUTE MONEY 24. And when they were come to Capernaum,, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? The half-shekel tribute was a religious payment, based originally on law, but enlarged by a custom which had no support in Scripture. It was ordained by the divine law to be paid for each person to the…

We are not redeemed because we felt or experienced something. No indeed! We are redeemed because the Lord Christ bought and paid for us with His own blood some 2000 years ago. We are His purchased possession. He owns us. We have been bought with the price of His blood. (1 Corinthians 6:20). Is it any wonder then that Fanny Crosby penned the lovely hymn, “Redeemed how I love to proclaim…

2. Once again. The law, when it comes into the heart, shows us how very black we are. Some of us know that we are sinners. It is very easy to say it. The word “sinner” hath only two syllables in it, and many there be who frequently have it on their lips, but who do not understand it. They see their sin, but it does not appear exceedingly sinful till the law comes. We think there is something…
