The Resurrection

Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary of Magdala went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”

So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. Then Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the burial cloth that had been around Jesus’ head.

The cloth was folded up by itself, separate from the linen. Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed.   John 20:1-8

Self-Denial

“Self-denial is not just saying no to awkward actions but is a mortification of

the desires and affections of the mind that wants to place a value on things in life,

especially the things of this world that oppose spiritual things.”

 

John Owen (1616-1683)

Trusted To The End

    “As for His failing you, never dream of it – hate the thought of it.

 

The God who has been sufficient until now, should be trusted to the end.”

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)


When We Get Depressed

 

“When we get depressed it is because

we have forgotten God.”

Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981)


Shake The Dust

 

If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words,

 

shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.

I tell you the truth,

it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment
than for that town.

Matthew 10:14,15


Temptation

 

No temptation has seized you except what is
common to man. And God is faithful; he will
not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.

But when you are tempted,
he will also provide a way out so that you can
stand up under it.

1 Corinthians 10:13


Active Faith

An active faith can give thanks for a promise,
though it be not as yet performed;

knowing that God’s bonds are as good as ready money.
-Matthew Henry (1662-1714)

 

Passive faith accepts the word as true-
But never moves.

Active faith begins the work to do,
And thereby proves.      (Selected)
