Thoughts of Christ

The Glorious Conqueror

Charles Spurgeon 27


The Glorious Conqueror
Christ has forever overcome all His foes, and divided the spoil upon the battle-field, and now, even at this day, is He enjoying the well-earned reward of His fearful struggle.

Lift up your eyes to the battlements of Heaven— the great metropolis of God. The pearly gates are wide open, and the city shines with her jeweled walls like a bride adorned for her husband.

Do you see the angels crowding to the battlements? At last there is heard the Song of a trumpet, and the angels hurry to the gates— the army of the redeemed. “The church of the first-born” is approaching the city. Hark to the shout of acclamation! “Behold the Lord cometh with ten thousands of His saints.” Hearken to them as they enter.

Every one of them waving his helmet in the air, cries, “Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His bloody unto Him be honor, and glory, and dominion, and power, for ever and ever.”

Mark the heroes as they march along the golden streets, everywhere meeting an enthusiastic welcome from the angels who have kept their first estate. On, on they pour, those countless legions—was there ever such a spectacle? For four thousand years streams on the army of Christ’s redeemed.

But see! He comes. I see his immediate herald, clad in a garment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about His loins. The Prince of the house of David is not far behind. Let every eye be open. He comes! He comes! He comes! It is Christ Himself! Lash the snow-white coursers up the everlasting hills; “Lift up your heads, O, ye gates, and be ye lifted up ye everlasting doors, that the King of Glory may come in.” See, He enters in the midst of acclamations.

It is He! but He is not crowned with thorns. It is He! but though His hands wear the scar, they are stained with blood no longer. His eyes are as a flame of fire, and on His head are many crowns, and He hath on His vesture and on His thigh written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Clothed in a vesture dipped in blood, He stands confessed the emperor of heaven and earth.—SPURGEON.



The image of God is personhood, and personhood can function only in the context of relationships.

The Image of God

John MacArthur
What is the image of God? The Hebrew word for “image,” tselem, comes from a root that speaks of carving. It is the same word used to speak of graven images (Ex. 20:4). It almost seems to convey the idea that man was carved into the shape of God.
The conflict is not between science and Scripture, but between the biblicist’s confident faith and the naturalist’s willful skepticism.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

The Truth About Science

John MacArthur
Unlike scientific theory, God’s Word is eternally unchanging. Unlike the opinions of man, its truth is revealed by the Creator Himself! It is not, as many suppose, at odds with science.
“Consérvate como peregrino y extranjero sobre la tierra”.

To Worship is to Copy

J. Stephen Lang
Thomas had the duty of instructing novices in the spiritual life, and Imitation was probably a collection of books he wrote for that purpose. We know little else about the man. That is as it should be, because the book is more important than the author.
Visions don’t come to life in daydreams but in sweatshops.

Daydreams and Sweatshops

Steven Furtick
God is the Creator, not because He imagined or envisioned creation, but because He acted and brought it into existence. He expressed intense satisfaction in doing the work and seeing the final product. Why should it be any different for the creatures who were made in His image?
Joseph represents a more mature Christian. He could walk in the dark.

Triumphs of Faith

D.L. Moody
How are we to get the victory over all our enemies? Joseph represents a more mature Christian. He could walk in the dark. He survived thirteen years of misfortune, in spite of his dreams, and then credited it all to the goodness and providence of God.
