Our Responsibilities

In Matthew 21:33, Jesus starts to tell them another parable, “There was a certain landowner who planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a winepress in it and built a tower. And he leased it to vinedressers and went into a far country.”

We have a responsibility to God. He created this beautiful earth and He placed it in our care. We have done a terrible job taking care of it and I’m sure it is going to get much worse. I have a hard time understanding how we plan to take care of this world when we can’t More >

Did this fear arise from the infernal suggestion that he was utterly forsaken. There may be sterner trials than this, but surely it is one of the worst to be utterly forsaken? “See,” said Satan, “thou hast a friend nowhere! Thy Father hath shut up the bowels of his compassion against thee. Not an angel in his courts will stretch out his hand to help thee. All heaven is alienated from thee; thou art left alone.

Three Amazing Women

In Matthew 27:56, among the women ministering to Jesus was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

How sweet it is to behold the Saviour communing with his own beloved people! There can be nothing more delightful than, by the Divine Spirit, to be led into this fertile field of delight. Let the mind for an instant consider the history of the Redeemer’s love, and a thousand enchanting acts of affection will suggest themselves, all of which have had for their design the weaving of the heart into Christ, and the intertwisting of the thoughts and emotions of the renewed soul with the mind of Jesus. When we meditate upon this amazing love, and behold the all-glorious More >
