The Interpreter Of Life

The Interpreter Of Life
Life is a dream, a riddle, a mystery, a difficult problem. But there is one interpreter.

What is his name? Where can he be found? His name is Jesus Christ, and he can be found wherever there is a heart that wants him. You have a dream—you cannot call it by any other name— about sin.

You know there is something wrong somewhere. You cannot explain it; you cannot set it down in order, proposition after proposition. It is as unsubstantial as a dream, and impalpable as a vision. Yet it haunts you and you want to know more about it.

Christ is the Interpreter, and He alone can explain what sin is; show it in its reality, and give the soul to feel how terrible a thing it is.

You have dreams about truth. Sometimes you see an image that you think is the very image of truth herself. Sometimes that angel comes quite near you, and you are almost on the point of laying your hand on the glittering vision.

You cannot quite do so. It leaves you, escapes you, mocks you! Jesus Christ is the Interpreter of that dream. Why? Because he is the truth.—PARKER.

Treasures in the Mud: The Grace of Being Searched

Charles H. Spurgeon

The surpassing grace of God is seen very clearly in that we were not only sought, but we were also sought out. People seek for something that is lost upon the floor of the house, but in such a case there is only seeking, not seeking out. The loss is more perplexing and the search more persevering when something is sought out.

Fighting for the Truth and Love

John MacArthur

In a world where truth is under attack, few rise to defend it. But let's remember that our apathy won't be an excuse before Christ. In Revelation, we see how He rebuked the churches that tolerated falsehood. Let's do the same, bravely defend the truth.

Holy Hatred of Sin

John MacArthur

We desperately need to recover a holy hatred of sin. We need to do this corporately as a church, but we also need to do it individually as believers. Sin is surely not a pleasant subject to study or preach on, but it is necessary.

Calm And Quiet

David Jeremiah

According to medical researchers at Duke University, there is a “vicious cycle” involving insomnia, anxiety, and depression. It’s sort of a “which came first: the chicken or the egg?” scenario.

The Rope of Prayer

David Jeremiah

Daniel was a man who communicated with heaven. He prayed fervently, consistently, and for the will of God. He knew nothing of praying only before meals, at bedtime, and when he really needed God’s help.
