Our Brave Savior
"Who gave himself a ransom for all, the witness in His own time." [1 Tim 2:6] I am sure that there has been at least one instance in each of our lives that we have experienced pain. From experience, most of us would probably confirm that facing known pain is easier than an unknown pain, …
The Faithful Attitude of Our Righteous King of Glory
"I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee." [Psa 22:22] When Jesus said truthfully upon the cross, “my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring,” [Psa 22:1] what was …

"Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, behold the man!" [Jn 19:5] On a certain occasion, when The LORD spoke to the prophet Zechariah in times past, He told him to “take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head …

Redeemed Through Judgment
Jesus redeems us by God's judgement on him. The cup which Jesus drank, praying, "let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt" was the very wrath of God we deserved for our sins. Our offences against a holy God were cast upon His Son, "whom God hath set …
Deliverance From Affliction
The LORD delivers us out of all afflictions. We can be confident that The LORD will save us from our troubles and afflictions. We only need to trust in Him, fear Him, cry out to Him. It may not be immediate, it may only come with death, but The LORD will be faithful to His …
