Only Jesus can judge him eternally...but we can arrange the meeting

Brethren, do you have a firm grasp on Scripture? Do you struggle getting others to understand? It is common for Christians even to argue with unbelievers, to try to get them to accept or comprehend God’s truth.

We should not do this. To this we were never called. This is neither our mission nor our purview. Only God can open eyes. Only God can open the mind. Only God can open the heart.

Recall after His resurrection when He stood in the midst of those who had walked with Him in His earthy ministry. Even they did not truly see until “He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures” (Lk. 24:45).

We cannot force understanding, even within ourselves. We must be enlightened; He must open our understanding. Likewise, we cannot force it upon others. Nor can we force the gospel through clever argument or marketing methods. For, “the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ” (2 Cor. 4:4). It is outside our power to change this.

Likewise, we cannot change hearts by force. It is God who opens hearts, just as He did with Lydia (Acts 16:14).

Thus, when you sit down to read, when you discuss with others, do not set your mind on your own understanding (Pr. 3:5); instead, pray for God, through His Holy Spirit, to open your mind and heart, and that of your audience, to receive His word according to His intent, and to do so as well for any to whom you preach the gospel.

"Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures." Luke 24:45

He whom we viewed last evening as opening Scripture, we here perceive opening the understanding. In the first work He has many fellow-labourers, but in the second He stands alone; many can bring the Scriptures to the mind, but the Lord alone can prepare the mind to receive the Scriptures. Our Lord Jesus differs from all other teachers; they reach the ear, but He instructs the heart; they deal with the outward letter, but He imparts an inward taste for the truth, by which we perceive its savour and spirit. The most unlearned of men become ripe scholars in the school of grace when the Lord Jesus by His Holy Spirit unfolds the mysteries of the kingdom to them, and grants the divine anointing by which they are enabled to behold the invisible. Happy are we if we have had our understandings cleared and strengthened by the Master! How many men of profound learning are ignorant of eternal things! They know the killing letter of revelation, but its killing spirit they cannot discern; they have a veil upon their hearts which the eyes of carnal reason cannot penetrate. Such was our case a little time ago; we who now see were once utterly blind; truth was to us as beauty in the dark, a thing unnoticed and neglected. Had it not been for the love of Jesus we should have remained to this moment in utter ignorance, for without His gracious opening of our understanding, we could no more have attained to spiritual knowledge than an infant can climb the Pyramids, or an ostrich fly up to the stars. Jesus' College is the only one in which God's truth can be really learned; other schools may teach us what is to be believed, but Christ's alone can show us how to believe it. Let us sit at the feet of Jesus, and by earnest prayer call in His blessed aid that our dull wits may grow brighter, and our feeble understandings may receive heavenly things.

Believer, recall when Jesus walked, unrecognized, with two disciples on the road to Emmaus. They were in conversation regarding the events of the past few days, and Jesus joined them. They were perplexed over the women’s statements regarding the empty tomb, so as they traveled on, Jesus, beginning with Moses and the prophets, “explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures” (Lk. 24:27).

At the time, the only “Scriptures” were what we know as the Old Testament.

Think about that. He began with Moses, which is the Pentateuch - Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy - then taught them the things about Himself written in all the Scriptures. Every book of the Old Testament teaches of our savior. In every book, we can find hidden gems about our Messiah.

Whether through archetypes, like the Passover lamb and the ram Abraham found in the thicket to replace Isaac as a sacrifice, or in “the angel of the Lord,” or in shadows that looked forward to Him, such as the tabernacle and its services or the sabbath rest, all pointed to Christ.

As Paul wrote, “the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith” (Gal. 3:24).

We could not fulfill the law on our own; no man could. It was given to show us our sinfulness and need of a savior. As Paul again explains, “I would not have come to know sin except through the Law” (Rom. 7:7).

Jesus set us free from our bondage that we could not ourselves break. And all of the Old Testament points to Him.

Christian, do not neglect reading all of the Scriptures. Christ, and God, is found in all of it, and all of it points to His glory, as our lives also are to do.

"He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself." Luke 24:27

The two disciples on the road to Emmaus had a most profitable journey. Their companion and teacher was the best of tutors"; the interpreter one of a thousand, in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. The Lord Jesus condescended to become a preacher of the gospel, and He was not ashamed to exercise His calling before an audience of two persons, neither does He now refuse to become the teacher of even one. Let us court the company of so excellent an Instructor, for till He is made unto us wisdom we shall never be wise unto salvation.

This unrivalled tutor used as His class-book the best of books. Although able to reveal fresh truth, He preferred to expound the old. He knew by His omniscience what was the most instructive way of teaching, and by turning at once to Moses and the prophets, He showed us that the surest road to wisdom is not speculation, reasoning, or reading human books, but meditation upon the Word of God. The readiest way to be spiritually rich in heavenly knowledge is to dig in this mine of diamonds, to gather pearls from this heavenly sea. When Jesus Himself sought to enrich others, He wrought in the quarry of Holy Scripture.

The favoured pair were led to consider the best of subjects, for Jesus spake of Jesus, and expounded the things concerning Himself. Here the diamond cut the diamond, and what could be more admirable? The Master of the House unlocked His own doors, conducted the guests to His table, and placed His own dainties upon it. He who hid the treasure in the field Himself guided the searchers to it. Our Lord would naturally discourse upon the sweetest of topics, and He could find none sweeter than His own person and work: with an eye to these we should always search the Word. O for grace to study the Bible with Jesus as both our teacher and our lesson!

When God brought Israel out of Egypt, in the third month of their wanderings, He dictated to Moses those laws we now call the “Ten Commandments.” The fourth among them was to “remember the sabbath day” (Ex. 20:8). God expected on the seventh day of the week that the Israelites should rest, just as He had done on the day after the six days of creation (Ex. 20:11).

God knew, since He created man, that man could not work every day without respite. But in time, the Jewish leadership took this commandment much further than God had intended. As such, Jesus corrected them saying, “the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath”(Mk. 2:27). The day was set apart for us, as we are to be for God.

What is often missed in considering the sabbath and its rest, especially by those now who still expect it to be observed according to the law, is that the seventh-day sabbath was merely a shadow of our true sabbath rest - our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

As Jesus preached to the masses, “come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest” (Mt. 11:28). True rest is found in Christ. As the author of Hebrews explains, “there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God” (Heb. 4:9). Looked at in context, this verse is about entering God’s true rest, entering His promised land, being found in Christ.

The truth sabbath is not a specific day of the week, or a special holy day - our True Sabbath is Jesus Himself, and we are to “fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it” (Heb. 4:1).

Brethren, always remember, “we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God” (Heb. 4:14), who also called Himself the “Lord…of the Sabbath” (Mk. 2:28). And our High Priest, Who Himself is Lord of the Sabbath, is indeed our great Sabbath rest.

"There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God." Hebrews 4:9

How different will be the state of the believer in heaven from what it is here! Here he is born to toil and suffer weariness, but in the land of the immortal, fatigue is never known. Anxious to serve his Master, he finds his strength unequal to his zeal: his constant cry is, "Help me to serve Thee, O my God." If he be thoroughly active, he will have much labour; not too much for his will, but more than enough for his power, so that he will cry out, "I am not wearied of the labour, but I am wearied in it." Ah! Christian, the hot day of weariness lasts not for ever; the sun is nearing the horizon; it shall rise again with a brighter day than thou hast ever seen upon a land where they serve God day and night, and yet rest from their labours. Here, rest is but partial, there, it is perfect. Here, the Christian is always unsettled; he feels that he has not yet attained. There, all are at rest; they have attained the summit of the mountain; they have ascended to the bosom of their God. Higher they cannot go. Ah, toil-worn labourer, only think when thou shalt rest for ever! Canst thou conceive it? It is a rest eternal; "a rest that" remaineth. "Here, my best joys bear" mortal "on their brow; my fair flowers fade; my dainty cups are drained to dregs; my sweetest birds fall before Death's arrows; my most pleasant days are shadowed into nights; and the flood-tides of my bliss subside into ebbs of sorrow; but there, everything is immortal; the harp abides unrusted, the crown unwithered, the eye undimmed, the voice unfaltering, the heart unwavering, and the immortal being is wholly absorbed in infinite delight. Happy day! happy! when mortality shall be swallowed up of life, and the Eternal Sabbath shall begin.

Brethren, early in John’s gospel, he records for us twice that John the Baptist saw Jesus walking and proclaimed, “Behold, the Lamb of God” (Jn. 1:29,36). John the Baptist recognized something in Jesus.

He recognized our Passover, the sacrifice that would cleanse us from our sins and redeem us so that death would pass over us as it did the Hebrews on that first Passover in Egypt (Ex. 11:23).

John himself would also later see the lamb in a different light, as he wrote of his vision while on the island of Patmos, “then I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion” (Rev. 14:1). Whether John saw a vision of an actual lamb, or viewed our savior, he recognized the Lamb of God. And He stood on a mount, the mount of which Scripture also tells us, “the Lord of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and His glory will be before His elders” (Isa. 24:23).

This is the same picture John paints of his vision in Rev. 14, that of the Lamb surrounded by those belonging to them, as they sing songs of praise and worship to Him.

Brethren, let us, like John, recognize the Lamb of God, our savior. Let us, like the elders in Rev. 14, sing to Him songs of praise and worship. He is our redeemer. He is our savior. He is our Passover. He is the Lamb who will stand on Mount Zion!

"And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion." Revelation 14:1

The apostle John was privileged to look within the gates of heaven, and in describing what he saw, he begins by saying, "I looked, and, lo, a Lamb!" This teaches us that the chief object of contemplation in the heavenly state is "the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world." Nothing else attracted the apostle's attention so much as the person of that Divine Being, who hath redeemed us by His blood. He is the theme of the songs of all glorified spirits and holy angels. Christian, here is joy for thee; thou hast looked, and thou hast seen the Lamb. Through thy tears thine eyes have seen the Lamb of God taking away thy sins. Rejoice, then. In a little while, when thine eyes shall have been wiped from tears, thou wilt see the same Lamb exalted on His throne. It is the joy of thy heart to hold daily fellowship with Jesus; thou shalt have the same joy to a higher degree in heaven; thou shalt enjoy the constant vision of His presence; thou shalt dwell with Him for ever. "I looked, and, lo, a Lamb!" Why, that Lamb is heaven itself; for as good Rutherford says, "Heaven and Christ are the same thing;" to be with Christ is to be in heaven, and to be in heaven is to be with Christ. That prisoner of the Lord very sweetly writes in one of his glowing letters- "O my Lord Jesus Christ, if I could be in heaven without thee, it would be a hell; and if I could be in hell, and have thee still, it would be a heaven to me, for thou art all the heaven I want." It is true, is it not, Christian? Does not thy soul say so?

Not all the harps above
Can make a heavenly place,
If God His residence remove,
Or but conceal His face.

All thou needest to make thee blessed, supremely blessed, is "to be with Christ."

Believer, consider your salvation. It is not accomplished by human power, but by God Himself, and He is mighty, “mighty to save” (Isa. 63:1).

We could not earn our salvation. Just as Israel, though they pledged to obey God, turned away over and again throughout the Old Testament, so we once lived in sin and ourselves were estranged from Him, by nature children of wrath (Eph. 2:3).

Yet even while we were enemies, He reconciled us to Himself (Rom. 5:10). How mighty is our God, who, by the blood of His son, could turn sinners from their wicked ways and make them His children, and when He appears, we will be like Christ (1 Jn. 3:2).

No amount of work, no might of man nor human ingenuity could perform such a mighty deed.

Of course, God exhibits his might in saving physically as well. For how many times did He deliver a small contingent of His people from great armies (ex. Judges 7:7)? Or to save Daniel from the lions (Dan. 6:16-23), or Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego from the flames of the furnace (Dan. 3:19-27)?

Martin Luther penned in his hymn that “a mighty fortress is our God,” and mighty He is indeed.

Praise God that He is not only merciful to save us (Tit. 3:5), but mighty to do so as well (Isa. 63:1)!

"Mighty to save." Isaiah 63:1

By the words "to save" we understand the whole of the great work of salvation, from the first holy desire onward to complete sanctification. The words are multum in parro: indeed, here is all mercy in one word. Christ is not only "mighty to save" those who repent, but He is able to make men repent. He will carry those to heaven who believe; but He is, moreover, mighty to give men new hearts and to work faith in them. He is mighty to make the man who hates holiness love it, and to constrain the despiser of His name to bend the knee before Him. Nay, this is not all the meaning, for the divine power is equally seen in the after-work. The life of a believer is a series of miracles wrought by "the Mighty God." The bush burns, but is not consumed. He is mighty to keep His people holy after He has made them so, and to preserve them in his fear and love until he consummates their spiritual existence in heaven. Christ's might doth not lie in making a believer and then leaving him to shift for himself; but He who begins the good work carries it on; He who imparts the first germ of life in the dead soul, prolongs the divine existence, and strengthens it until it bursts asunder every bond of sin, and the soul leaps from earth, perfected in glory. Believer, here is encouragement. Art thou praying for some beloved one? Oh, give not up thy prayers, for Christ is "mighty to save." You are powerless to reclaim the rebel, but your Lord is Almighty. Lay hold on that mighty arm, and rouse it to put forth its strength. Does your own case trouble you? Fear not, for His strength is sufficient for you. Whether to begin with others, or to carry on the work in you, Jesus is "mighty to save;" the best proof of which lies in the fact that He has saved you. What a thousand mercies that you have not found Him mighty to destroy!

When God, through Moses, led Israel out of their captivity and slavery in Egypt, He took them out into the wilderness. Despite all they had seen from God leading to their release and the destruction of Pharaoh, the Israelites still grumbled. They were not trusting God.

One of their complaints was lack of food. “Would that we had died by the LORD’S hand in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat, when we ate bread to the full; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger” (Exo. 16:2-3).

Thus, God decided to test them. He would send quail every evening for meat and manna every morning for bread, but each was to gather only what he needed for that particular day. Anything left until morning would breed worms and rot. Except, on the day before the sabbath, they were to gather two days worth, and what was left until the sabbath did not rot.

All this was God’s way of determining whether the Israelites would place their trust in Him and rely on Him daily.

Which, dear brethren, brings us to…us. Are you trusting in God daily to provide for you, rather than grumbling or doing your own thing? Or do you look to a different “god,” money, or something or someone else? Are you depending upon God continually, or do you trust in the strength of your own arm?

Believer, God wants us to depend on Him. This is why Jesus said not to worry for food, drink, clothing, but seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness, and these needs would be met (Mt. 6:31-33).

Trust in Him. Humble yourself before Him. Cast all your anxiety before Him, because He cares for you (1 Pet. 5:6-7). Do this, and God will provide, and will exalt you at the proper time.

Brethren, “you belong to Christ” (1 Cor. 3:23). What a marvelous message. This is not true of everyone.

When Christ walked with His disciples, He told them that He knew His sheep, and that they would know Him and hear His voice and follow Him, and that He would give them eternal life (Jn. 10:27). He also told others present that they could not believe Him because they were not His sheep (Jn. 10:25-26).

How blessed are we then to be His among His fold? He died for us that we might never perish (Jn. 10:28). And in dying for us, He purchased us, we were bought with a price (1 Cor. 6:20). We belong to Him!

What kind of lives then should we live, knowing God purchased us with His own blood (Acts 20:28)?

Let us glorify God in our bodies (1 Cor. 6:20). Let us honor Him with our lives. “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven” (Mt. 5:16).

"Ye are Christ's." 1 Corinthians 3:23

Ye are Christ's." You are His by donation, for the Father gave you to the Son; His by His bloody purchase, for He counted down the price for your redemption; His by dedication, for you have consecrated yourself to Him; His by relation, for you are named by his name, and made one of His brethren and joint-heirs. Labour practically to show the world that you are the servant, the friend, the bride of Jesus. When tempted to sin, reply, "I cannot do this great wickedness, for I am Christ's." Immortal principles forbid the friend of Christ to sin. When wealth is before you to be won by sin, say that you are Christ's, and touch it not. Are you exposed to difficulties and dangers? Stand fast in the evil day, remembering that you are Christ's. Are you placed where others are sitting down idly, doing nothing? Rise to the work with all your powers; and when the sweat stands upon your brow, and you are tempted to loiter, cry, "No, I cannot stop, for I am Christ's. If I were not purchased by blood, I might be like Issachar, crouching between two burdens; but I am Christ's, and cannot loiter." When the siren song of pleasure would tempt you from the path of right, reply, "Thy music cannot charm me; I am Christ's." When the cause of God invites thee, give thy goods and thyself away, for thou art Christ's. Never belie thy profession. Be thou ever one of those whose manners are Christian, whose speech is like the Nazarene, whose conduct and conversation are so redolent of heaven, that all who see you may know that you are the Saviour's, recognizing in you His features of love and His countenance of holiness. "I am a Roman!" was of old a reason for integrity; far more, then, let it be your argument for holiness, "I am Christ's!"

The World- being “The World” Jesus warned us about.
Checkout what on the “innocent” Tea Bag label! ( Pure evil- in plain sight.
“Yogi Teas”.. The Last time! I’ve seen other messages similar with them — diabolical - thought it was a - one off. But there’s No Denying— Check That Out——

Christian, in the parable of the sower, Jesus mentions four types of ground upon which the seed fell. One of those types was rocky soil (Lk. 8:13). In this soil, the seed once sprouting could not develop deep roots. The dirt received the seed gladly enough, but being hard and unyielding, roots could not burrow, and so, when the harshness of the sun beat down upon the plant, it withered.

So it is with many who claim the name of Christ. In good times, all is well, and they are happy to bear the title “Christian.” But when trials and temptations arise, they are not sustained, because they have no root. They quickly fall away and behave as the world.

Perhaps you know someone like this. Perhaps you have behaved in this manner. Dear brethren, this should not be.

Jesus is our root, the vine in which we are the branches. It is from Him we receive our sustenance, and apart from Him, we can do nothing (Jn. 15:5). Apart from Him, we wither and are thrown away (Jn. 15:6). Yet if we abide in Him, by His doing, we will bear much fruit to the glory of God (Jn. 15:5, 8).

Believer, examine yourself today, as is right for one claiming faith (2 Cor. 13:5). Then cling to Him as if your life depends upon it, because it DOES!

"These have no root." Luke 8:13

My soul, examine thyself this morning by the light of this text. Thou hast received the word with joy; thy feelings have been stirred and a lively impression has been made; but, remember, that to receive the word in the ear is one thing, and to receive Jesus into thy very soul is quite another; superficial feeling is often joined to inward hardness of heart, and a lively impression of the word is not always a lasting one. In the parable, the seed in one case fell upon ground having a rocky bottom, covered over with a thin layer of earth; when the seed began to take root, its downward growth was hindered by the hard stone and therefore it spent its strength in pushing its green shoot aloft as high as it could, but having no inward moisture derived from root nourishment, it withered away. Is this my case? Have I been making a fair show in the flesh without having a corresponding inner life? Good growth takes place upwards and downwards at the same time. Am I rooted in sincere fidelity and love to Jesus? If my heart remains unsoftened and unfertilized by grace, the good seed may germinate for a season, but it must ultimately wither, for it cannot flourish on a rocky, unbroken, unsanctified heart. Let me dread a godliness as rapid in growth and as wanting in endurance as Jonah's gourd; let me count the cost of being a follower of Jesus, above all let me feel the energy of His Holy Spirit, and then I shall possess an abiding and enduring seed in my soul. If my mind remains as obdurate as it was by nature, the sun of trial will scorch, and my hard heart will help to cast the heat the more terribly upon the ill-covered seed, and my religion will soon die, and my despair will be terrible; therefore, O heavenly Sower, plough me first, and then cast the truth into me, and let me yield Thee a bounteous harvest.

Christian, do not fear - keep the faith! For there is laid up for us who finish the course a crown of righteousness (2 Tim. 4:8). Looking forward to receiving this should strengthen us in our daily walk.

We must never give up. We must fight the good fight. We all eventually will lay aside this earthly tent, and what is mortal will be replaced with what is immortal (2 Cor. 5:4).

Yes, for now we groan. We wait eagerly for the redemption of our bodies (Rom. 8:23). We look forward in hope to our adoption as sons. We have not yet received the fulness of God’s promises, but not having seen it, we wait eagerly for it (Rom. 8:24-25).

In the meantime, strive to show yourself a faithful worker, approved by God, rightly handling His word (2 Tim. 2:15). Live as a slave not of sin, but of righteousness (Rom. 6:16-20). Present your bodies a living sacrifice to God, which is true worship (Rom. 12:1). Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Rom. 12:2).

Because blessed are you when you persevere; for once you are approved you will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those of us who love Him (Jam. 1:12). Amen.

"There is laid up for me a crown of righteousness." 2 Timothy 4:8

Doubting one! thou hast often said, "I fear I shall never enter heaven." Fear not! all the people of God shall enter there. I love the quaint saying of a dying man, who exclaimed, "I have no fear of going home; I have sent all before me; God's finger is on the latch of my door, and I am ready for Him to enter." "But," said one, "are you not afraid lest you should miss your inheritance?" "Nay," said he, "nay; there is one crown in heaven which the angel Gabriel could not wear, it will fit no head but mine. There is one throne in heaven which Paul the apostle could not fill; it was made for me, and I shall have it." O Christian, what a joyous thought! thy portion is secure; "there remaineth a rest." "But cannot I forfeit it?" No, it is entailed. If I be a child of God I shall not lose it. It is mine as securely as if I were there. Come with me, believer, and let us sit upon the top of Nebo, and view the goodly land, even Canaan. Seest thou that little river of death glistening in the sunlight, and across it dost thou see the pinnacles of the eternal city? Dost thou mark the pleasant country, and all its joyous inhabitants? Know, then, that if thou couldst fly across thou wouldst see written upon one of its many mansions, "This remaineth for such a one; preserved for him only. He shall be caught up to dwell for ever with God." Poor doubting one, see the fair inheritance; it is thine. If thou believest in the Lord Jesus, if thou hast repented of sin, if thou hast been renewed in heart, thou art one of the Lord's people, and there is a place reserved for thee, a crown laid up for thee, a harp specially provided for thee. No one else shall have thy portion, it is reserved in heaven for thee, and thou shalt have it ere long, for there shall be no vacant thrones in glory when all the chosen are gathered in.
