God is true to the laws of His own nature, not to my way of expounding how He works.

God’s Nature
April 9, 2015
Jesus had only three years to accomplish His life-work. If we remember how quickly three years in an ordinary life pass away, and how little at their close there usually is to show for them, we shall see what must have been the size and quality of life, which in so marvelously short a time made such a deep and ineffaceable impression on the world and left to mankind such a heritage of truth and influence.

I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.

Faith does not question that God will provide, though it sees not which way provisions should come in. (‘Fides famem non formidat’) Faith does not fear famine.

God is not silent. It is the nature of God to speak. The second person of the Holy Trinity is called The Word.

We have heard of many people who trusted God too little, but have you ever heard of anyone who trusted Him too much?

The essence of this mystery is Christ, Himself. In these days certain would-be wise men are laboriously attempting to constitute a church without Christ and to set forth a salvation without a Savior. But their Babel building is as a bowing wall and a tottering fence. The center of the blessed mystery of the Gospel is Christ, Himself, in His Person. What a wonderful conception it was that the infinite God should take upon Himself the nature of man! It never would have occurred to men that such a condescension would be thought of!

If your ministry is full of Christ, it is a ministry that God can bless. “Oh,” said a Brother to me, only today, speaking of a certain minister, “I could not hear him, for there is nothing of Christ in his sermons.” Where there is nothing of Christ, Brothers and Sisters, there is nothing of unction, nothing of savor—and a man is quite right not to attend such a ministry as that. Leave Christ out of your preaching and you have taken the milk from the children! You have taken the strong meat from the men. But if your objective as a teacher or preacher is to glorify Christ and to lead men to love Him and trust Him, why, that is the very work upon which the heart of God, Himself, is set! The Lord and you are pulling together—and God the Holy Spirit can set His seal to a work like that! Is it not a marvelous thing that we should be workers together with God?

Jesus Christ is so precious that if Heaven and earth were put together, they could not buy another Savior. When God gave His Son to the world, He gave the best that Heaven had. Take Christ out of Heaven, and there is nothing for God to give. Christ was God’s All, for is it not written, “In Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily”? Oh, precious gift of the whole of Deity in the Person of Christ!
