In 'Christ the Way, the Truth, the Life' (John Chapter 14 verse 6) William Kelly clearly brings out the Gospel message and the centrality of Christ in all things.The Lord Jesus Christ said "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me"    The Way - Man is lost, and the world is as much of a wilderness as the sands of Arabia to a traveller who has lost his way. The Lord Jesus Christ came to seek and to save the lost....

Our Present Condition and our Hope by F.G. Patterson shows the believer as to the past, a suffering, dead and risen Christ; as to the present, the association of the people of God with Him in a pathway of suffering and rejection; and as to the future, His coming again in glory, and taking to Him His great power to reign, and our association with Him in His glory.  Our Present Condition: The Lord left his servants to carry on His heavenly mission...

As JB Stoney explores the experiences of Jonah and others in 'Out of Death into Life', he shows us that "WILL is the real cause of the restlessness, and of the absence of full joy in souls. …. the only true place of happiness for a believer is to be without a will of his own…." and how the enjoyment of our salvation depends on us appropriating the death of Christ.  What did Eve, Jonah, the Rich Young Ruler and many, many others in scripture have...

Mephibosheth, or, The Kindness of God. In this beautiful exposition of the unmerited kindness of King David toward the poor lame orphan Mephibosheth, we see a picture of the kindness of God, through Jesus Christ. The condition of fallen man, the wondrous grace of God in His kindness to poor lost sinners and the privileges of conferred sonship - "and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually" - are clearly brought out by this gifted expositor. A...

In 'The High Priest's Garments', W.W. Fereday illuminates the typical character of the ancient ritual. Because Israel's ritual pointed to Christ, the smallest details are given. Nothing is too small for notice that in any way speaks of God's beloved Son.   Let us clearly understand where priesthood comes in, in the ways of God. When Israel was in Egypt, groaning under the yoke of Pharaoh, God did not provide a priest but a saviour. But when the people...

Three Selected Short Writings by CA Coates:   Peace with God There are four things which hinder souls from having Peace: Coates uses four Old Testament pictures to show how every question in connection with these four things has been met and settled for the believer, for example, "Many be¬lievers in Jesus do not know that their sins are put away….actually carried out of God's sight, and removed from before Him by being borne by Jesus"    Three...

JND was a prodigious writer who had a major influence on evangelical thinking in the 19th Century. Here are just a few of his articles. Man Fallen and The Seed of the Woman, Genesis Chapter 3: "Satan is active, and his power consists in producing distrust, and this where there is happiness and intimate relation with God - to darken, and, if possible, destroy all in the heart. Eve listened to and believed Satan, in place of listening to God and believing...

'Simon Peter – Sifted as Wheat' examines the sad episode of Peter's denial of the Lord.  " Simon, Simon," the Lord says, "behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat; but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and when thou art converted (restored), strengthen thy brethren". Simon got his warning here; if he had only taken heed to it, what a different sequel would have been recorded! If he had only been chaff,...
