Mirror Of The Heart
Have you ever looked into a mirror of curved glass that was designed to distort the image it reflects? Perhaps you are short and stocky, but in the glass you look tall and lean.
Above The Circumstances
I remember a story about a woman who was very discouraged because of the many problems in her life. As she was walking down the street, she met a fellow believer who asked, "How are you doing today?"
The Light Of The World
Jesus said, "As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world" (Jn. 9:5). But what happened to the light when He ascended to heaven?
The Face Of Christ
Our face reflects our personality, and therefore it is the most expressive, the most cherished part of our being!
Who Holds The Rope?
Some years ago I read an account that went something like this:
Infallible Proofs
The Bible says that Jesus "presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs" (Acts 1:3). This is more than a historic statement made by Luke. It is a challenge to all the critics who would deny the literalness of the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. Luke made the amazing and startling statement that Jesus was alive, He was seen by a great multitude of people, and His resurrection was confirmed by a great number of convincing proofs.
The Core Of Thankfulness
To have all earthly gifts, pleasures, and benefits without also knowing the heavenly Giver is a tragedy of eternal proportions! The Word of God clearly teaches that if we do not respond to God's gracious gifts by acknowledging the heavenly Benefactor, our ungratefulness will only ensure our final doom and misery (Rom. 2:4-10).
Finished!
The Lord Jesus ended His work and suffering on the cross of Calvary with the words "It is finished!" (Jn. 19:30). In the original language in which John recorded these words, only one word is spoken by the Lord Jesus—tetelestai. Not three words but one—finished.
Broken Things
You may feel as if you are being broken today—in body, in spirit, or in material things. If so, consider that it may be God's way of bringing forth something good.
