THOUGH the shepherd cares for the lambs and carries them in his arms, he does not cease his care when they become sheep. But so long as they shall need to be tended, so long will he watch over them.

THE first reference of this text is evidently to Israel . That nation was precious in God’s sight. He had been pleased sovereignly to make an election of the seed of Abraham that they should be His portion, and He would be their portion evermore. They were pre…

YOU will frequently find David uttering this petition. It is a favorite prayer of his, “Quicken thou me, O LORD!” And as David was like the rest of us—indeed, his experience is the mirror of the experience of all believers—you may depend upon it, we all have g…

WE just now read the story of this woman who was immediately healed. Spiritual persons know that the miracles recorded by the evangelist are true, because they have seen them reproduced. That is to say, we have not seen an issue of blood stopped by the touch o…

THE slavery which existed among the ancient Jews was a very different thing from that which has disgraced humanity in modern times. And it ought also to be remembered that Moses did not institute slavery in any shape. The laws concerning it were made on purpos…

THE precepts of our Lord Jesus Christ are dictated by the soundest wisdom. He has given us divine prescriptions for the health of our souls, and His commandments, though clothed with sovereign authority, are spoken in such infinite kindness that we may regard…

WE have remarked in our reading that the children of Israel were continually changing their places, and that there was usually a great difference between one station and the next. So, also, we are constantly varying in our experience and the variations are som…

IT must be a very great sin indeed to hinder anybody from coming to Christ. He is the only way of salvation from the wrath of God, salvation from the terrible judgment that is due to sin—who would dare to keep the perishing from that way? To alter the signpost…

WE observe that this psalm is a very difficult one. One of the ablest commentators calls it a titanic psalm. It is truly a giant psalm, and to master it means much labor. Yet it is by no means difficult to understand when it comes to practical duties, and to t…

HOW very remarkably the times repeat themselves! As I said just now, in the reading of the chapter, the warning which Paul gave concerning his own times is quite as needful for this present age. Again darkness thickens and the mists hang heavily around our foo…

WE know that the anointing received by our Lord Jesus Christ was the resting of the Spirit of God upon Him without measure. We are not left to any guesswork about this, for in Isaiah 61:1 we are told, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because the Lord has an…

THIS portion of the Song describes the royal bridegroom as traveling up from the wilderness in an Eastern palanquin, attended by His bodyguard, and by those who bear torches and burn perfumes. We have a description of the sumptuous chariot-bed in which this gr…

AS a congregation you have of late been diligently engaged in the service of God by endeavoring to provide a home for fatherless children. I have been astonished and delighted at the liberality which has been shown by all sorts of persons in this good and grac…

THE empire of Babylonia and Chaldea passed into the hands of a new dynasty, and king Belshazzar was slain in a night assault upon his capital. On that very night, he had clothed Daniel in scarlet, and made him the third ruler in the kingdom. This was provident…

IT was the work of the priest to go into the holy place and to trim the seven-branched lamp of gold; see how our Great High Priest walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks, His work is notoccasional, but constant. Wearing robes which are at once roy…

THIS is a terrible case . When God is turned to be a man’s enemy and fights against him, he is in a desperate plight. With other enemies we may contend with some hope of success, but not with the Omnipotent. The enmity of others is an affliction, but the enmit…

THIS divine mensuration is an art of the most desirable kind, as appears from its being the object of most earnest apostolic prayers. Paul was not content to travail in birth for souls, and to become their spiritual parent, but he afterwards exercised the func…

WE must be saved if we would serve the Lord. We cannot serve God in an unsaved condition. “They that are in the flesh cannot please God.” It is vain for them to attempt service while they are still at enmity against God. The Lord wants not enemies to wait upon…

THIS centurion certainly had a high reputation. Two features of character blend in him which do not often meet in such graceful harmony. He won the high opinion of others and yet he held a low estimation of himself. There are some who think little of themselve…

I AM most anxious, dear friends, to make full proof of my ministry and in this one respect especially, that I may address you upon all parts of God’s Word, and not be found guilty of confining myself to one set of topics, for certainly this, although it might…

THE first commandment instructs us that there is but one God, who alone is to be worshipped, and the second commandment teaches that no attempt is to be made to represent the Lord, neither are we to bow down before any form of sacred similitude. “Thou shalt no…

WEEK after week, standing before this congregation to preach the things concerning the kingdom of Christ, I sometimes say to myself, “I wonder how much longer I shall have to point out to some of these people the way of salvation before they will walk in it—I…

LITTLE words often contain great meanings. It is often the case with that monosyllable “so.” In the present instance we must lay stress upon it and read the text thus—“Moses spoke so unto the children of Israel.” That is, he said what God told him to say. He d…

THE discourse of this evening is suggested by the transaction of Jeremiah with his uncle’s son in the purchase of a field at Anathoth, which he conducted in a business-like and legal way. I will begin with just a few remarks upon the transaction itself.
