44. <div style="text-align: justify;">
45. "How long shall my brother ask forgiveness of me and I forgive him? Seventy times seven?"</div>
46. <div style="text-align: justify;">
47. This was the question Peter had asked of Christ, because according to their custom forgiveness was only given three times. Christ went on to tell Peter forgiveness has no limit, his words were "Not seven but seventy times seven." Making Peter understand that forgiveness has no limits.</div>
48. <div style="text-align: justify;">
49. <br /></div>
50. <div style="text-align: justify;">
51. How about you? Are you struggling with the same question of forgiveness? Has someone habitually hurt you, and you have decided this is it! No more forgiveness? </div>
52. <div style="text-align: justify;">
53. <br /></div>
54. <div style="text-align: justify;">
55. In the Parable of the unforgiving servant in (Matthew 18:21-35)  we learn true forgiveness. Here great truths are illustrated. May we ask of God His love, so that we can love each other unconditionally.</div>
56. <div style="text-align: justify;">
57. <br /></div>
58. <div style="text-align: justify;">
59. Let us look at four (4) great truths illustrated. </div>
60. <ol>
61. <li>Here we are taught to be compassionate.(Matthew 18:33)</li>
62. <li>By being unforgiving you are casting away your only hope of forgiveness from God   (Matthew 18:15-17)</li>
63. <li>We should treat others just as we ourselves, in like circumstances, would wish to be treated.        (Phillipians 2:1-5)</li>
64. <li>Forgive as often as God has forgiven you. (Luke 17:3,4) </li>

66. We are not forgiven because we forgive, but as we forgive. The ground of all forgiveness is centred in the great truth of the unmerited love of God. When we are hurt and has the tendency to be unforgiving let us remember &quot;Christ was treated as we deserve, that we may be treated as He deserves.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elle-rose.blogspot.com/feeds/1327899984692240990/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://elle-rose.blogspot.com/2017/04/forgiveness.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4575643175375545752/posts/default/1327899984692240990'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4575643175375545752/posts/default/1327899984692240990'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elle-rose.blogspot.com/2017/04/forgiveness.html' title='FORGIVENESS'/><author><name>The Acts</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15327362002834522110</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4M45pP2ovv2ejPz34CgSIegp6wGRbw_dA38gy7TasU53dmImSaDXxBxz9MzURvPkBfEGOk2xoVFCCZB6qYih0JaApRbJGYjpMIWd1rUkvWpJjIXCptKJlWNheKkWzpA/s220/2-rose-mini+to+be+used.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE6_6yGAIpuwf7C_UeC-n8x79Ix3waDOwffu-WTjC1yI6-fsbBNntfkBpkxzQvPfR1LHg3vwodRIRmXobiLXeHcymMf8ePvMVfr9LxM0NVWc6H-H9jjMy65Zcz_aitYe2hWUEs9jGONOc/s72-c/forgiveness.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4575643175375545752.post-7730931283064412376</id><published>2017-04-11T11:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2017-04-12T06:37:09.927-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="bitterness"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Creator"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="God"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="good"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="guard"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Heart"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Life"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="life eternal"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="lovely"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="pure"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="root"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="true"/><title type='text'>Root Of Bitterness</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;

75. <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We are told "Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things" (Philippians 4:8). </span></div>

79. <div style="text-align: justify;">
80. <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The admonition to see to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no root of bitterness grows up to cause trouble has not been heeded by many and as a result many have become defiled. (Hebrew12:15). It is Gods will that we guard our heart above all else, for it deermines the course of our life. (Proverbs 14:23). To do so we have to be true, be ourselves, be honest, treat others justly, keep ourselves pure and free from the evil influences of our age. </span></div>

84. <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Paul reminds us that all athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, that being temporal, however God's will is that we also strive to do and be the person He created us to be, that we might receive the eternal prize.</span></div>

87. <div style="text-align: justify;">
88. <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Examination is therefore call forth, self-examination; to ensure no bitter root springs up and ruin not only our hearts but our life. To turn from right doing is to disobey He who knows all things and has made us and whose intentions is to make us the very best.</span></div>
89. <div style="text-align: justify;">
90. <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
91. <div style="text-align: justify;">
92. <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So let us be careful our own hearts are not evil and we turn from the true and living God. Many will follow evil teachings and shameful immorality, but God expect us to heed His word and strive always to be obedient to Him as He knows our frame, He is our Creator. The only one who died that we might be forgiven. </span></div>

96. <span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Untill we taste the bitterness of our own misery we will never relish the sweetness of God's mercy. Until we see how foul our sins have made us we will never pay our tribute to Christ for washing us...if you would know the heart of your sin then you must know the sins of your heart!"

100. <div style="text-align: justify;">
101. <span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">It was a lovely day and there he was on his balcony,
102. before him he could see the most beautiful woman ever; She was having a bath. Instead
103. of turning away, he continued to feast his eyes on her beauty. Before long he
104. became smitten by her, and summoned her to his palace. </span><br />

106. <div style="text-align: justify;">
107. <span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">One thing led to another and now she is pregnant and he
108. doesn’t know what to do. You see she was the wife of his friend, the captain of
109. his army. When he had summoned her he slept with her knowing she was married
110. and her husband was on the battlefield. He was a king, the King of Israel, a
111. very influential man. He had sent his army out to fight for his people and his
112. most trusted friend was the captain of his army. </span></div>

116. <span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">The king concocted a plan which he thought was
117. ingenious. The husband was asked to return from war, so he could have him sleep
118. with his wife. Then he would never know she had been unfaithful to him because
119. he would assume the child was his. The king thought he would get away from his
120. obligation of coming clean to her husband Uriah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
121. <div style="text-align: justify;">
122. <span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">The day came and Uriah came home and David waited with
123. bated breath as Uriah greeted him and informed him of the situation on the
124. battle field. Hours passed but Uriah would not go home. When David inquired of
125. him why didn’t he go home to his wife he said he could not do so while the men
126. in his army are dying on the battlefield.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

132. <span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">Uriah was faithful to his master David, he was also
133. loyal to his army, and would not enjoy the pleasure of his wife while his men were
134. dying on the battlefield. On his refusal to sleep with his wife, the King had
135. him killed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

141. <span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">The fifty-first psalm, loaded with precious lessons of
142. David’s attitude toward his action. There we can learn what course to follow if
143. we have departed from the Lord. David, the king of Israel, exalted and honoured,
144. now a broken man when he realized that nothing is hidden from God. The Lord
145. sent a message of reproof by His prophet. David confessed his sin and humbled
146. his heart, declaring God to be just in all His dealings (Psalm 51:1-17).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

150. <span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">God hates sin, whether committed by one sitting on a
151. throne, or by one in the humbler walks of life. We should not flatter our self
152. that sin is a matter which we have nothing to do. Instead, we should concern
153. our self on how we can ask God to forgive us and hasten to walk with God.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Let us not close our eyes and harden our
154. consciences, to our sins; but let us cherish the instruction we have in the
155. word of God concerning how we can overcome our weakness and grow in grace.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>May we see the hateful character of sin and repent

425. <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The first temple had been erected during the most prosperous period of Israel's history. Vast stores of treasure for this purpose had been collected by King David, and the plans for its construction were made by divine inspiration. [1 Chronicles 28:12, 19.] Solomon, the wisest of Israel's monarchs, had completed the work. This temple was the most magnificent building which the world ever saw. Yet the Lord had declared by the prophet Haggai, concerning the second temple, “The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former.”</span><br />

430. <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“I will shake all nations, and the Desire of all nations shall come; and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts.” [Haggai 2:9,7.]  After the destruction of the temple by Nebuchadnezzar, it was rebuilt about five hundred years before the birth of Christ, by a people who from a life-long captivity had returned to a wasted and almost deserted country. There were then among them aged men who had seen the glory of Solomon's temple, and who wept at the foundation of the new building, that it must be so inferior to the former. The feeling that prevailed is forcibly described by the prophet: “Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?” [Haggai 2:3.] Then was given the promise that the glory of this latter house should be greater than that of the former.  </span></div>

433. <div style="line-height: 15.994318008422852px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
434. <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">But the second temple had not equaled the first in magnificence; nor was it hallowed by those visible tokens of the divine presence which pertained to the first temple. There was no manifestation of supernatural power to mark its dedication. No cloud of glory was seen to fill the newly erected sanctuary. No fire from Heaven descended to consume the sacrifice upon its altar. The shekinah no longer abode between the cherubim in the most holy place; the ark, the mercy-seat, and the tables of the testimony were not to be found therein. No voice sounded from Heaven to make known to the inquiring priest the will of Jehovah.  </span></div>

438. <span style="line-height: 15.994318008422852px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">For centuries the Jews had vainly endeavored to show wherein the promise of God given by Haggai, had been fulfilled; yet pride and unbelief blinded their minds to the true meaning of the prophet's words. The second temple was not honored with the cloud of Jehovah's glory, but with the living presence of One in whom dwelt the fullness of the Godhead bodily,—who was God himself manifest in the flesh. The “Desire of all nations” had indeed come to his temple when the Man of Nazareth taught and healed in the sacred courts. In the presence of Christ, and in this only, did the second temple exceed the first in glory. But Israel had put from her the proffered gift of Heaven. With the humble Teacher who had that day passed out from its golden gate, the glory had forever departed from the temple. Already were the Saviour's words fulfilled, “Your house is left unto you desolate.” [Matthew 23:38.] </span></span></div>

451. <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The gospel of Jesus is a gospel of living and doing. If it were not this it would not voice the Eternal Truth. It invites men to shake off sin, and promises, as a result, joy and blessedness and perfect peace.  As our Example, we have One who is all and in all, the chiefest among ten thousand, Jesus Christ, His excellency is beyond comparison. His Kingdom is perfect trust, perfect knowledge, perfect peace. . . no sin can enter there. </span><br />

456. <b><i><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6.   </span></i></b></div>

459. <div style="text-align: justify;">
460. <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Christ is the truth. His words are truth, and they have a deeper significance than appears on the surface. All the sayings of Christ have value. Minds that are quickened by the Holy Spirit will discern the value of these sayings. They will discern the precious gems of truth.  No theories and speculations formed by men will ever lead us to an understanding of God's Word. </span></div>

463. <div style="text-align: justify;">
464. <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The signs by which those who follow Truth is known and are unmistakable Jesus says you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. You <span style="text-align: left;">may easily know whether you are a child of Truth, the Bible says search the scriptures for in them ye think ye have eternal life, and they are they</span> who testify of me. (John 5:39-47).</span></div>
465. <div style="text-align: justify;">
466. <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
467. <div style="text-align: justify;">
468. <span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The priests and Pharisees thought they were doing great things as teachers, by putting their own interpretation upon the Word of God; but Christ said of them, "Ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God" (Mark 12:24). He charged them with the guilt of "teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" (chap. 7:7). Though they were the teachers of the oracles of God, though they were supposed to understand His Word, they were not doers of the Word. Satan had blinded their eyes that they should not see its true import. Unless you make Truth<span style="text-align: left;"> the object of your affection, then you can have no peace with God. For God is a Spirit and all 'who worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth'</span></span></div>

God is often left to take up the broken pieces when we have disobeyed his will; when we reap the harvest of our actions, often He is blamed for everything that goes wrong. And yet when we read his words we see it is the will of</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">God</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> to bless and guide us through our every situation. Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace; thereby good shall come unto thee. Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. Job 22:21,22.

515. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">From the beginning it has been Satan's plan to cause men to forget God, that he might secure them to himself. Therefore he misrepresent the character of God, and cause men to cherish a false conception of Him. Many see God as clothed with the attributes of the prince of evil himself; as arbitrary, severe, and unforgiving--that He might be feared, shunned, and even hated by men. Jesus Christ came to show us the true picture of God to the world; as a God of love, a God of mercy, tenderness, and compassion. </span></div>

It is God's desire to restore His image in you. Believe that He is your Helper. Make it your pledge to become acquainted with Him. As you draw nigh to Him with confession and repentance, He will draw nigh to you with mercy and forgiveness. </span></div>

If you lay hold of this truth, it will set you free. But there is only one person who can get you out of the will of God and that person is you. The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. (Psalm 145:9). Friends always remember the Fathers gave his only Son to die that you might have eternal life.

537. <span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">None is free from depression; however the Word of God gives us hope and encourages, motivates, and keeps us on the road to happiness and a contented life. The Word of God holds the secret of happiness and only as we allow it to take hold of our lives will we be able to overcome the evil one. Even Christ himself recognises the power of the Word when he said, "Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Jesus always uses the Word to overcome the enemy and we are admonished to do the same if we are going to lead a happy life. </span></span><br />

544. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Rest your Hope in Him</b></span></div>
545. <div style="text-align: justify;">
546. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Psalm 25:3 reminds us that "No one who hopes in God will ever be put to shame. <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px; text-indent: 48px;">In order to enjoy the abundant life promise to us by God we have to learn to trust him, to do so we must worship him and lift up our souls to him. None who, believes, wait on God, or by a believing hope, wait for him, shall be ashamed. If we sincerely desire to know our duty, with resolution to do it, we may be sure that God will direct us in it.  When God pardons us he does so completely. It is God's goodness, and not ours, his mercy, and not our merit. When we realize how boundless that mercy is, it gives us hope!</span></span></div>

552. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px; text-indent: 48px;">Psalm 119:16, I will delight in your statues that I may live. Our greatest harm comes from living by no rule at all, or choosing false rules: when you walk by the rules of the Word of God you begin to live the abundant life. </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px; text-indent: 48px;">To doubt of our own wisdom and strength, and to depend upon God, is the beginning of wisdom. God's word is treasure worth laying up, and there is no laying it up safe but in our hearts. Those whose hearts are fed with the bread of life, will be protected from depression and anxiety. </span></span></div>

558. <span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Psalm 119:116 reminds us that He will sustain you, according to his promise; He will not disappoint you. </span></span><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">Seeing that God does not disappoint why are you anxious? God's word directs us in our work and in our way. He provides His Word to be a light for you, so you will not stumble. A</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 24px; text-indent: 48px;">s a light to direct us in the choice of our way, and the steps we take in that way. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 24px; text-indent: 48px;">To have our soul or life continually in our hands implies constant danger of life; but in God's we need have no fear. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 24px; text-indent: 48px;">Numberless are the snares laid by the wicked; and happy is that man, whom they have not caused to err from God's precepts. Heavenly treasures awaits all, therefore be content with little of this world. Look for comfort only in the way of God's will.</span></div>

564. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 24px; text-indent: 48px;">The more we pray and praise God, the more watchful we shall be, lest vain thoughts draw us away from whom we love. Doing God's will, separating yourself from evil doers will help to strengthen your resolve to walk with God. Your security is grounded on God's support. To depart from the way of life, will only prove fatal. So start praising Him, praying always, and watch the difference it will make in your life. It worked for me and surely it will work for you, God is faithful; He will never promise anything that He cannot deliver. </span></div>

629. <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Christ is coming the second time, with power unto salvation. To prepare us for this event is the message of this angel. This angel represents those who receive the truth, and with power open the gospel to the world. </span><br />
630. <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
631. <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Why Are The Messages Of Revelation 14 given? </b></span><br />
632. <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">God has given us these messages because he sees that the principles of the churches have become corrupted. (Revelation 14:6-10). The prophet sees some who are not worshiping the beast, and who have not received his mark in their foreheads or in their hand. "here is the patience of the saint," he declares, "here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus." (Revelation 14:12-20)</span><br />
633. <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
634. <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Giving Glory To God</b></span><br />
635. <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In order to give glory to God we must reveal his character in our own lives, and then make him known to others. Therefore whatever way you make known the Father or the Son, you glorify God.</span><br />
636. <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
637. <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Worship Him That Made Heaven And Earth, The Seas And Fountains Of Water</b></span><br />
638. <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The world has disregarded the only commandment which points out the true God, and has torn down the Sabbath, God's memorial of creation. </span><br />
639. <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
640. <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">God made the world in six days and rested on the seventh, sanctifying this day, and setting it apart from all others as holy to Himself, to be observed by His people throughout their generations.</span><br />
641. <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
642. <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">Thus the heavens and the earth were completed and all the hosts. (the hosts of heaven refers to the sun, moon and stars.) </span><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.…</span>(Genesis 2:1-2).</span><br />
643. <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
644. <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">God has a controversy with the churches today, they are fulfilling the prophecy of John, "All nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication." they have divorced themselves from God by refusing to receive His sign. (Ezekiel 20:20) </span><span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Keep my Sabbaths holy, that they may be a sign between us. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God." The people of the world in giving their sanction to a false Sabbath, (Sunday) and in trampling under their feet the Sabbath of the Lord, have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. (Revelation 14:8).</span></span><br />
645. <span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
646. <span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Sabbath question will be the issue in the great conflict of this world, yes my friend, all the world will act a part in this great drama. (revelation 13:4-8) this entire chapter is a revelation of what will surely take place. (Revelation 13:11; 15-17). </span></span><br />
647. <span style="background-color: #fdfeff; color: #001320; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>

666. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia;"><span style="color: #000099;">A friend is one of the greatest blessings on earth. Tell me not of money — love is better than gold; sympathy is better than lands. He is the poor man — who has no friends!  This world is full of sorrow — because it is full of sin. It is a dark place. It is a lonely place. It is a disappointing place. The brightest sunbeam in it, is a friend. Friendship halves our troubles and doubles our joys!</span></span><br />

671. <span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="color: #000099;">A real friend is scarce and rare. There are many who will eat, and drink, and laugh with us in the sunshine of prosperity. There are few who will stand by us in the days of darkness — few who will love us when we are sick, helpless, and poor — few, above all, who will care for our souls!  Does any reader of this paper want a real friend? I write to recommend one to your notice this day. I know of One "who sticks closer than a brother!" (Proverbs 18:24.) I know of One who is ready to be your friend for time and for eternity, if you will receive Him. Hear me, while I try to tell you something about Him.</span></span></div>

679. <span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="color: #000099;">Do we want a friend in NEED? Such a friend is the Lord Jesus Christ!</span></span></div>
680. <div style="background-color: white;">
681. <span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="color: #000099;">Man is the neediest creature on God's earth, because he is a sinner. There is no need as great as that of sinners: poverty, hunger, thirst, cold, sickness — all are nothing in comparison. Sinners need pardon — and they are utterly unable to provide it for themselves; they need deliverance from a guilty conscience and the fear of death — and they have no power of their own to obtain it. This need, the Lord Jesus Christ came into the world to relieve. "He came into the world to save sinners!" (1 Tim. 1:15.)</span></span></div>
682. <div style="background-color: white;">
683. <span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="color: #000099;"><br /></span></span></div>
684. <div style="background-color: white;">
685. <span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="color: #000099;">We are all by nature, poor dying creatures. From the king on his throne, to the pauper in the workhouse — we are all sick of a mortal disease of soul. Whether we know it or not, whether we feel it or not — we are all dying daily. The plague of sin is in our blood. We cannot cure ourselves — we are hourly getting worse and worse! All this, the Lord Jesus undertook to remedy. He came into the world to bring in health and cure; He came to deliver us "from the second death;" He came "to abolish death, and bring life and immortality to light through the Gospel." (Jeremiah 33:6; Rev. 2:11; 2 Tim. 1:10.)</span></span></div>

688. <div style="background-color: white;">
689. <span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="color: #000099;">We are all by nature imprisoned debtors. We owed our God millions — and had nothing to pay. We were wretched bankrupts, without hope of freeing ourselves. We could never have freed ourselves from our load of liabilities, and were daily getting more deeply indebted. All this the Lord Jesus saw, and undertook to remedy. He engaged to "ransom and redeem us." He came to "proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound." "He came to redeem us from the curse of the law." (Hos. 13:14; Isaiah 41:1; Galatians 3:13.)</span></span></div>

692. <div style="background-color: white;">
693. <span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="color: #000099;">We were all by nature shipwrecked and cast away. We could never have reached the harbor of everlasting life. We were sinking in the midst of the waves — hopeless, helpless, and powerless; tied and bound by the chain of our sins, foundering under the burden of our own guilt, and likely to become a prey to the devil. All this the Lord Jesus saw and undertook to remedy. He came down from Heaven to be our "mighty helper." He came to "seek and to save those who are lost;" and to "deliver us from going down into the pit." (Psalm 89:19; Luke 19:10; Job 33:24.)</span></span></div>
694. <div style="background-color: white;">
695. <span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="color: #000099;"><br /></span></span></div>
696. <div style="background-color: white;">
697. <span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="color: #000099;">Could we have been saved without the Lord Jesus Christ coming down from Heaven? It would have been utterly impossible. The wisest men of Egypt, and Greece, and Rome never found out the way to peace with God. Without the friendship of Christ — we would all have been lost for evermore in Hell. Was the Lord Jesus Christ obliged to come down to save us? Oh, no! no! It was His own free love, mercy, and pity — which brought Him down. He came unsought and unasked — because He was gracious.</span></span></div>

700. <div style="background-color: white;">
701. <span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="color: #000099;">Let us think on these things. Search all history from the beginning of the world — look around the whole circle of those you know and love — you never heard of such friendship among men. There never was such a real friend in need as Jesus Christ!</span></span> </div>

713. <div style="text-align: justify;">
714. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.</span><br />

719. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It is God who is the all powerful one and able to deliver us from trouble; he provides the necessary ability to anyone who ask him for help.</span></div>
720. <div style="text-align: justify;">
721. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Anyone who is ready to faint under afflictions, because they have not immediate deliverance, or their prayers are not answered at once, or promises not fulfilled as they expected; to such he gives fresh supplies of spiritual strength; he strengthens their faith, and enlarges their views, to behold the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living, and confirms his blessings and promises of grace unto them. (Psalm 27:13)</span></div>

726. <div style="text-align: justify;">
727. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Not that they have no might at all. Strictly speaking, for then it could not be properly said their strength was increased by him; but that their might and power were very small. and that in their own apprehensions they had none, and then it is that fresh strength is given them; as the apostle says "when I am weak, then am I strong", (2 Corinthians 12:10), understand though this may be understood, not of the strength of their graces but of their sins and corruptions: a word from the same root as this here used signifies "iniquity", and the sense may be, that the Lord increases the spiritual strength of such on whom the lust's, corruptions, and virtuosity of nature have not the power and dominion.</span></div>

767. <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">God is irreplaceable, incomparable,<span style="color: #333333;"> "Let us see how great our God is, and fear him; for His power is unlimited, and what no creature can compare with, much less contend with.</span><span style="color: #333333;"> He has a vast reach. View the celestial globe, and you are astonished at the extent of it; but the great God </span><span style="color: #333333;">metes</span><i style="color: #333333;"> the </i><span style="color: #333333;">heavens</span><i style="color: #333333;"> with a </i><span style="color: #333333;">span</span><i style="color: #333333;">;</i><span style="color: #333333;"> to him they are but a hand-breadth, so large-handed is he.

All the waters in the world he can </span><span style="color: #333333;">measure in the hollow of his hand,</span><span style="color: #333333;"> where we can hold but a little water; and the dry land he easily manages, for he </span><span style="color: #333333;">comprehends </span><i style="color: #333333;">the dust of </i><span style="color: #333333;">the earth in a </span><span style="color: #333333;"></span><span style="color: #333333;">measure</span><i style="color: #333333;">,</i><span style="color: #333333;"> or with his three fingers; it is no more to him than a </span><i style="color: #333333;">pugil,</i><span style="color: #333333;"> or that which we take up between our thumb and two fingers. </span></span></div>

This may refer to the work of creation, when the heavens were stretched out as exactly as that which is spanned, and the earth and waters were put together in just proportions, as if they had been measured, and the mountains made of such a weight as to serve for ballast to the globe, and no more. Or it may refer to the work of providence (which is a continued creation) and the consistency of all the creatures with each other. </span></span></div>

Christ was born at an inn; he came into the world to sojourn here for awhile, as at an inn, and to teach us to do likewise. We are become by sin like an outcast infant, helpless and forlorn; and such a one was Christ. He well knew how unwilling we are to be meanly lodged, clothed, or fed; how we desire to have our children decorated and indulged; how apt the poor are to envy the rich, and how prone the rich to disdain the poor. But when we by faith view the Son of God being made man and lying in a manger, our vanity, ambition, and envy are checked. We cannot, with this object rightly before us, seek great things for ourselves or our children."</span></span></div>

Throughout this book, whenever it is said, He cometh, it means his glorious coming. The preparation for this began at the destruction of Jerusalem, and more particularly at the time of writing this book; and goes on, without any interruption, till that grand event is accomplished. Therefore it is never said in this book, He will come; but, He cometh. And yet it is not said, He cometh again: for when he came before, it was not like himself, but in "the form of a servant." But his appearing in glory is properly his coming; namely, in a manner worthy of the Son of God.</span></div>

902. I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one but he himself knows. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the wine press of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written.</div>

950. Let us take care we give no occasion to the enemy to blaspheme the holy name whereby we are called, or to speak evil of the way of salvation by Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. These seducers used feigned words, they deceived the hearts of their followers. In their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. The ancient verdict against them is still in force, and their destruction is not delayed. Many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned; they would even cast lots for the fatherless and barter away your friend. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people.<br />

955. St. Paul warned against false teachers who taught "things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. "Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God. We never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed--God is our witness. For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty." Through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: they are experts in greed--an accursed brood! Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam, who loved the wages of unrighteousness,</div>
956. <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">

959. They are double-minded men and unstable in all they do. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with fabricated stories. Yes, they are dogs with mighty appetites; they never have enough. Shepherds who lack understanding; they all turn to their own way, they seek their own gain. Because the watchmen are blind. They are shepherds who have no understanding; They have all turned to their own way, Each one to his unjust gain, to the last one. "Come," they say, "let us get wine, and let us drink heavily of strong drink; And tomorrow will be like today, only more so." Oh yes when they shall say, "You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry."God will say to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?'</div>

963. Let us wake up, don't be fooled, God's word is clear for all to identify these wolves in sheep clothing. By their fruit you shall know them; the ox knows its master, the donkey its owner's manger, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand." Says the Lord. Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. "But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal.</div>
964. <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">

967. Be not deceived God is not mocked. God's usual method of proceeding is shown by examples. Angels were cast down from all their glory and dignity, for their disobedience. If creatures sin, even in heaven, they must suffer in hell. Sin is the work of darkness, and darkness is the wages of sin. See how God dealt with the old world. The number of offenders no more procures favour, than their quality. If the sin be universal, the punishment shall likewise extend to all.</div>
968. <div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">

971. Take heed what you do. God's wisdom and power will surely effect the purposes of his love, and the engagements of his truth;  wicked men often escape suffering here, because they are kept to the day of judgement, to be punished with the devil and his angels; be sober, be vigilant.</div>

985. <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Self-admirers
986. and self-flatterers are really self-deceivers. Many think the proud are
987. happy people, let me tell you they are not!  This is a mistaken
988. thought. God resist the proud, who display pomp and make a show; Many poor
989. ones feel far less uneasiness than the rich, with all their fancied advantages
990. around them. The man who doesn't know God is poor, though he is rich, because
991. he is lacking of that which alone is true riches. As I read through
992. the book of Esther I had to laugh as I got to Chapters 5 and 6; what a story.</span><br />

1000.  Nevertheless Haman restrained himself and went home, and he sent and
1001. called for his friends and his wife Zeresh.  Then Haman told them of his
1002. great riches, the multitude of his children, everything in which the king had

1011. a lot of folks in the church of the living God who thinks that should be your
