“Search the Scriptures.” — John 5:39
The Greek word here rendered search signifies a strict, close, diligent, curious search, such as men make when they are seeking gold, or hunters when they are in earnest after game. We must not rest content with having given a superficial reading to a chapter or two, but with the candle of the Spirit we must deliberately seek out the hidden meaning of the word. Holy Scripture requires searching — much of it can only be learned by careful study. There is milk for babes, but also meat for strong men. The rabbis wisely say that a mountain of matter hangs upon every word, yea, upon every title of Scripture. Tertullian exclaims, “I adore the fulness of the Scriptures.” No man who merely skims the book of God can profit thereby; we must dig and mine until we obtain the hid treasure. The door of the word only opens to…
the key of diligence. The Scriptures claim
searching. They are the writings of God, bearing the divine stamp and
imprimatur — who shall dare to treat them with levity? He who despises
them despises the God who wrote them. God forbid that any of us should
leave our Bibles to become swift witnesses against us in the great day of
account. The word of God will repay searching. God does not bid us sift a
mountain of chaff with here and there a grain of wheat in it, but the Bible is
winnowed corn — we have but to open the granary door and find it.
Scripture grows upon the student. It is full of surprises. Under the
teaching of the Holy Spirit, to the searching eye it glows with splendour of
revelation, like a vast temple paved with wrought gold, and roofed with
rubies, emeralds, and all manner of gems. No merchandise like the
merchandise of Scripture truth. Lastly, the Scriptures reveal Jesus: “They
are they which testify of Me.” No more powerful motive can be urged
upon Bible readers than this: he who finds Jesus finds life, heaven, all
things. Happy he who, searching his Bible, discovers his Saviour.

“The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad.” — Psalm 126:3
Some Christians are sadly prone to look on the dark side of everything, and to dwell more upon what they have gone through than upon what God has done for them. Ask for their impression of the Christian life, and they will describe their continual conflicts, their deep afflictions, their sad adversities, and the sinfulness of their hearts, yet with scarcely any allusion to the mercy and help which God has vouchsafed them. But a Christian whose soul is in a healthy state, will come forward joyously, and say, “I will speak, not about myself, but to the honour of my God. He hath brought me up out of an horrible pit, and out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings: and He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God. The Lord hath done…
great
things for me, whereof I am glad.” Such an abstract of experience as this is
the very best that any child of God can present. It is true that we endure
trials, but it is just as true that we are delivered out of them. It is true that
we have our corruptions, and mournfully do we know this, but it is quite
as true that we have an all-sufficient Saviour, who overcomes these
corruptions, and delivers us from their dominion. In looking back, it would
be wrong to deny that we have been in the Slough of Despond, and have
crept along the Valley of Humiliation, but it would be equally wicked to
forget that we have been through them safely and profitably; we have not
remained in them, thanks to our Almighty Helper and Leader, who has
brought us “out into a wealthy place.” The deeper our troubles, the louder
our thanks to God, who has led us through all, and preserved us until now.
Our griefs cannot mar the melody of our praise, we reckon them to be the
bass part of our life’s song, “He hath done great things for us, whereof we
are glad.”

“Thou shalt see now whether My word shall come to pass unto thee or not.” — Numbers 11:23
God had made a positive promise to Moses that for the space of a whole month He would feed the vast host in the wilderness with flesh. Moses, being overtaken by a fit of unbelief, looks to the outward means, and is at a loss to know how the promise can be fulfilled. He looked to the creature instead of the Creator. But doth the Creator expect the creature to fulfil His promise for Him? No; He who makes the promise ever fulfils it by His own unaided omnipotence. If He speaks, it is done — done by Himself. His promises do not depend for their fulfillment upon the co-operation of the puny strength of man. We can at once perceive the mistake which Moses made. And yet how commonly we do the same! God has promised to…
supply our needs, and we look to the creature to do what God has
promised to do; and then, because we perceive the creature to be weak and
feeble, we indulge in unbelief. Why look we to that quarter at all? Will you
look to the north pole to gather fruits ripened in the sun? Verily, you
would act no more foolishly if ye did this than when you look to the weak
for strength, and to the creature to do the Creator’s work. Let us, then, put
the question on the right footing. The ground of faith is not the sufficiency
of the visible means for the performance of the promise, but the
all-sufficiency of the invisible God, who will most surely do as He hath
said. If after clearly seeing that the onus lies with the Lord and not with
the creature, we dare to indulge in mistrust, the question of God comes
home mightily to us: “Has the Lord’s hand waxed short?” May it happen,
too, in His mercy, that with the question there may flash upon our souls
that blessed declaration, “Thou shalt see now whether My word shall
come to pass unto thee or not.”

“There fell down many slain, because the war was of God.” — 1 Chronicles 5:22
Warrior, fighting under the banner of the Lord Jesus, observe this verse with holy joy, for as it was in the days of old so is it now, if the war be of God the victory is sure. The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh could barely muster five and forty thousand fighting men, and yet in their war with the Hagarites, they slew “men, an hundred thousand,” “for they cried to God in the battle, and He was entreated of them, because they put their trust in Him.” The Lord saveth not by many nor by few; it is ours to go forth in Jehovah’s name if we be but a handful of men, for the Lord of Hosts is with us for our Captain. They did not neglect buckler, and sword, and bow, neither did they…
place their trust in
these weapons; we must use all fitting means, but our confidence must rest
in the Lord alone, for He is the sword and the shield of His people. The
great reason of their extraordinary success lay in the fact that “the war was
of God.” Beloved, in fighting with sin without and within, with error
doctrinal or practical, with spiritual wickedness in high places or low
places, with devils and the devil’s allies, you are waging Jehovah’s war,
and unless He himself can be worsted, you need not fear defeat. Quail not
before superior numbers, shrink not from difficulties or impossibilities,
flinch not at wounds or death, smite with the two-edged sword of the
Spirit, and the slain shall lie in heaps. The battle is the Lord’s and He will
deliver His enemies into our hands. With steadfast foot, strong hand,
dauntless heart, and flaming zeal, rush to the conflict, and the hosts of evil
shall fly like chaff before the gale.
Stand up! stand up for Jesus! The strife will not be long; day the noise of battle, The next the victor’s song:
To him that overcometh,
A crown of life shall be;
He with the King of glory
Shall reign eternally.

“Be zealous.” — Revelation 3:19
If you would see souls converted, if you would hear the cry that “the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord”; if you would place crowns upon the head of the Saviour, and His throne lifted high, then be filled with zeal. For, under God, the way of the world’s conversion must be by the zeal of the church. Every grace shall do
exploits, but this shall be first; prudence, knowledge, patience, and courage will follow in their places, but zeal must lead the van. It is not the extent of your knowledge, though that is useful; it is not the extent of your talent, though that is not to be despised; it is your zeal that shall do great exploits. This zeal is the fruit of the Holy Spirit: it draws its vital force from the…
continued operations of the Holy Ghost in the soul. If our inner
life dwindles, if our heart beats slowly before God, we shall not know zeal;
but if all be strong and vigorous within, then we cannot but feel a loving
anxiety to see the kingdom of Christ come, and His will done on earth,
even as it is in heaven. A deep sense of gratitude will nourish Christian
zeal. Looking to the hole of the pit whence we were digged, we find
abundant reason why we should spend and be spent for God. And zeal is
also stimulated by the thought of the eternal future. It looks with tearful
eyes down to the flames of hell, and it cannot slumber: it looks up with
anxious gaze to the glories of heaven, and it cannot but bestir itself. It feels
that time is short compared with the work to be done, and therefore it
devotes all that it has to the cause of its Lord. And it is ever strengthened
by the remembrance of Christ’s example. He was clothed with zeal as with
a cloak. How swift the chariot-wheels of duty went with Him! He knew
no loitering by the way. Let us prove that we are His disciples by
manifesting the same spirit of zeal.

“Ye that love the Lord hate evil.” — Psalm 97:10
Thou hast good reason to “hate evil,” for only consider what harm it has already wrought thee. Oh, what a world of mischief sin has brought into thy heart! Sin blinded thee so that thou couldst not see the beauty of the Saviour; it made thee deaf so that thou couldst not hear the Redeemer’s tender invitations. Sin turned thy feet into the way of death, and poured poison into the very fountain of thy being; it tainted thy heart, and made it “deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked.” Oh, what a creature thou wast when evil had done its utmost with thee, before divine grace interposed! Thou wast an heir of wrath even as others; thou didst “run with the multitude to do evil.” Such were all of us; but Paul reminds us…
“but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name
of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” We have good reason,
indeed, for hating evil when we look back and trace its deadly workings.
Such mischief did evil do us, that our souls would have been lost had not
omnipotent love interfered to redeem us. Even now it is an active enemy,
ever watching to do us hurt, and to drag us to perdition. Therefore “hate
evil,” O Christians, unless you desire trouble. If you would strew your
path with thorns, and plant nettles in your death-pillow, then neglect to
“hate evil”; but if you would live a happy life, and die a peaceful death,
then walk in all the ways of holiness, hating evil, even unto the end. If you
truly love your Saviour, and would honour Him, then “hate evil.” We
know of no cure for the love of evil in a Christian like abundant intercourse
with the Lord Jesus. Dwell much with Him, and it is impossible for you to
be at peace with sin.
“Order my footsteps by Thy Word,
And make my heart sincere;
Let sin have no dominion, Lord,
But keep my conscience clear.”

“Are they Israelites? so am I.” — 2 Corinthians 11:22
We have here A PERSONAL CLAIM, and one that needs proof. The apostle knew that His claim was indisputable, but there are many persons who have no right to the title who yet claim to belong to the Israel of God. If we are with confidence declaring, “So am I also an Israelite,” let us only say it after having searched our heart as in the presence of God. But if we can give proof that we are following Jesus, if we can from the heart say, “I trust Him wholly, trust Him only, trust Him simply, trust Him now, and trust Him ever,” then the position which the saints of God hold belongs to…
us — all their enjoyments are our possessions; we may be the very least in
Israel, “less than the least of all saints,” yet since the mercies of God
belong to the saints AS SAINTS, and not as advanced saints, or
well-taught saints, we may put in our plea, and say, “Are they Israelites?
so am I; therefore the promises are mine, grace is mine, glory will be mine.”
The claim, rightfully made, is one which will yield untold comfort. When
God’s people are rejoicing that they are His, what a happiness if they can
say, “So AM I!” When they speak of being pardoned, and justified, and
accepted in the Beloved, how joyful to respond, “Through the grace of
God, SO AM I.” But this claim not only has its enjoyments and privileges,
but also its conditions and duties. We must share with God’s people in
cloud as well as in sunshine. When we hear them spoken of with contempt
and ridicule for being Christians, we must come boldly forward and say,
“So am I.” When we see them working for Christ, giving their time, their
talent, their whole heart to Jesus, we must be able to say, “So do I.” O let
us prove our gratitude by our devotion, and live as those who, having
claimed a privilege, are willing to take the responsibility connected with it.

“Behold, I am vile.” — Job 40:4
One cheering word, poor lost sinner, for thee! You think you must not come to God because YOU are vile. Now, there is not a saint living on earth but has been made to feel that he is vile. If Job, and Isaiah, and Paul were all obliged to say “I am vile,” oh, poor sinner, wilt thou be ashamed to join in the same confession? If divine grace does not eradicate all sin from the believer, how dost thou hope to do it thyself? and if God loves His people while they are yet vile, dost thou think thy vileness will…
prevent His loving thee? Believe on Jesus, thou outcast of the world’s
society! Jesus calls thee, and such as thou art.
“Not the righteous, not the righteous; Sinners, Jesus came to call.”
Even now say, “Thou hast died for sinners; I am a sinner, Lord Jesus,
sprinkle Thy blood on me”; if thou wilt confess thy sin thou shalt find
pardon. If, now, with all thy heart, thou wilt say, “I am vile, wash me,”
thou shalt be washed now. If the Holy Spirit shall enable thee from thy
heart to cry
Just as I am, without one plea. But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that thou bidd’st me come to Thee, O Lamb of God, I come!”
thou shalt rise from reading this morning’s portion with all thy sins
pardoned; and though thou didst wake this morning with every sin that
man hath ever committed on thy head, thou shalt rest to-night accepted in
the Beloved; though once degraded with the rags of sin, thou shalt be
adorned with a robe of righteousness, and appear white as the angels are.
For “now,” mark it, “Now is the accepted time.” If thou “believest on Him
who justifieth the ungodly thou art saved.” Oh! may the Holy Spirit give
thee saving faith in Him who receives the vilest.

“He that loveth not knoweth not God.” — 1 John 4:8
The distinguishing mark of a Christian is his confidence in the love of Christ, and the yielding of his affections to Christ in return. First, faith
sets her seal upon the man by enabling the soul to say with the apostle, “Christ loved me and gave Himself for me.” Then love gives the countersign, and stamps upon the heart gratitude and love to Jesus in return. “We love Him because He first loved us.” In those grand old ages, which are the heroic period of the Christian religion, this double mark was clearly to be seen in all believers in Jesus; they were men who knew the love of Christ, and rested upon it as a man leaneth upon a staff whose trustiness he has tried. The love which they felt towards the Lord was not a…
quiet emotion which they hid within themselves in the secret chamber of
their souls, and which they only spake of in their private assemblies when
they met on the first day of the week, and sang hymns in honour of Christ
Jesus the crucified, but it was a passion with them of such a vehement and
all-consuming energy, that it was visible in all their actions, spoke in their
common talk, and looked out of their eyes even in their commonest
glances. Love to Jesus was a flame which fed upon the core and heart of
their being; and, therefore, from its own force burned its way into the outer
man, and shone there. Zeal for the glory of King Jesus was the seal and
mark of all genuine Christians. Because of their dependence upon Christ’s
love they dared much, and because of their love to Christ they did much,
and it is the same now. The children of God are ruled in their inmost
powers by love — the love of Christ constraineth them; they rejoice that
divine love is set upon them, they feel it shed abroad in their hearts by the
Holy Ghost, which is given unto them, and then by force of gratitude they
love the Saviour with a pure heart, fervently. My reader, do you love Him?
Ere you sleep give an honest answer to a weighty question!

“The Lord shut him in.” — Genesis 7:16
Noah was shut in away from all the world by the hand of divine love. The door of electing purpose interposes between us and the world which lieth in the wicked one. We are not of the world even as our Lord Jesus was not of the world. Into the sin, the gaiety, the pursuits of the multitude we cannot enter; we cannot play in the streets of Vanity Fair with the children of darkness, for our heavenly Father has shut us in. Noah was shut in with his God. “Come thou into the ark,” was the Lord’s invitation, by which He clearly showed that He Himself intended to dwell in the ark with His servant and his family. Thus all the chosen dwell in God and God in them. Happy people to be enclosed in the same circle which contains God in the Trinity of His persons, Father, Son, and Spirit. Let us never be…
inattentive
to that gracious call, “Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and
shut thy doors about thee, and hide thyself as it were for a little moment
until the indignation be overpast.” Noah was so shut in that no evil could
reach him. Floods did but lift him heavenward, and winds did but waft him
on his way. Outside of the ark all was ruin, but inside all was rest and
peace. Without Christ we perish, but in Christ Jesus there is perfect
safety. Noah was so shut in that he could not even desire to come out, and
those who are in Christ Jesus are in Him for ever. They shall go no more
out for ever, for eternal faithfulness has shut them in, and infernal malice
cannot drag them out. The Prince of the house of David shutteth and no
man openeth; and when once in the last days as Master of the house He
shall rise up and shut the door, it will be in vain for mere professors to
knock, and cry Lord, Lord open unto us, for that same door which shuts in
the wise virgins will shut out the foolish for ever. Lord, shut me in by Thy
grace.
