Thoughts of Atonement

The Gospel Message

Dwight L. Moody 85


I was in a city in Europe, and a young minister came to me and said, “Moody, what makes the difference be-tween your preaching and mine? Either you are right, and I am wrong, or you are wrong, and I am right.” Said I, “I don’t know what the difference is, for you have heard me, and I have never heard you preach.

What is the difference?” Said he, “You make a great deal of the death of Christ, and I don’t make anything out of it. I don’t think it has anything to do with it.

I preach the life.” Said I, “What do you do with this: ‘He hath borne our sins in His own body on the tree?’” Said he, “I never preached that.” Said I, “What do you do with this: ‘He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities, and with His stripes we are healed?”’ Said he, “I never preached that.”

“Well,” said I again, “What do you do with this: ‘Without the shedding of blood there is no remission?’” Said he, “I never preached that.” I asked him, “What do you preach?” “Well,” he says, “I preach a moral essay.” Said I, “My friend, if you take the atoning blood out of the Bible, it is all a myth to me.” Said he, “I think the whole thing is a sham.” “Then,” said I, “I advise you to get out of the ministry very quick.

I would not preach a sham. If the Bible is untrue, let us stop preaching, and come out at once like men, and fight against it; but if these things are true, and Jesus Christ left heaven and came into this world to shed His blood and thereby save sinners, then let us lay hold of it and preach it in season and out of season.”

In the seminary at Princeton, last year, when the students were ready to graduate, the old man, their instructor stood up before them, and said, “Young men, make much of the blood. Young men, make much of the blood!”

And I have learned this, that a minister who makes much of the blood, of the atonement, of substitution, and holds Christ up as the sinner’s only hope, God blesses his preaching. And if the Apostles did not preach that, what did they preach?—MOODY.



He wants to give you more wisdom so you can make better decisions.

Think the Way God Thinks

Joel Osteen
Begin today to think the way God thinks. The Bible says, “The path of the righteous grows brighter and brighter and brighter.” Think increase... Think big... Think expansive! Start expecting the unexpected and look at life through your eyes of faith.
God leads you through a progressive path, but the ultimate goal is to be on Mount Carmel and to be fruitful.

Wisdom in Building Up

T.D. Jakes
WE can build up ourselves, cultivate a sense of expectancy about the coming of the Lord, have compassion on those who have fallen, and be moved with zeal to make a difference in the lives of those who have spotted their garments.
In the depths of our spirit, we can learn to recognize that voice and distinguish it from all others

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

My Sheep Listen to My Voice

Chris Tiegreen
Jesus knows how confused we can be. That’s one of the reasons He gave His followers an illustration about shepherds and sheep. Sheep learn to recognize the voice of their shepherd so that when he calls to them.
Clearly, John wanted everyone to know Jesus was not merely a man. Jesus was the eternal, all-powerful God who existed before time, created everything, and gave life.

Jesus Lives and Creates

David R. Veerman
John and his brother James became two of Jesus’ original twelve disciples and, along with Peter, enjoyed a special relationship with Jesus. At times Jesus called just the three of them to see an important event, such as his Transfiguration.
To know that my name, according to Luke, is a matter of celestial conversation causes my mind to explode!

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

The Personal Tag

Rick Christian
To know that my name, according to Luke, is a matter of celestial conversation causes my mind to explode! Are you sure, Luke? My name recorded in God’s Book of Life? I suppose God could keep roll more efficiently by using my social security number or bank account number.
