We See Jesus
(Hebrews 2:5-9)
(Hebrews 2:5-9)
“The old, old story is ever new, tell me more about Jesus.”
For hundreds of years’ men have been talking about Him, and the story of His life has been proclaimed in thousands of pulpits, and repeated in millions of homes; yet it is not worn out. It is as fresh and new as when first told, not only because man’s needs are the same now as then, and because
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together” (Rom. 8:14–17).
ARE you in trouble? Have you been sorely afflicted?
Of course you say, Yes; for “man who is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble” (Job 14:1).
But there is a still more important question. It is, “Are you comforted in your affliction?" "Do you have peace in the midst of your trouble?”
“There is but one thing in this world that a man needs and that is justification—and justification is a fact, not a theory. It is the gospel. That which does not tend to righteousness is of no avail, and not worthy to be preached. Righteousness can only be attained through faith; consequently all things worthy to be preached must tend to justification by faith.”

“He who has died has been freed from sin” (Rom. 6:7).
Are you freed from sin? If not, do you not see exactly where the difficulty lies?

Two wonderful articles by E. J. Waggoner that ran 1 week apart in the Signs of the Times, 1889. The second article is a continuation of the first and so they are combined into one downloadable document.
The preaching of Christ and Him crucified is the preaching of the power of God, and therefore it is the preaching of the Gospel, for the Gospel is the power of God. ... The conclusion therefore is that the Gospel is the revelation of Jesus Christ in men.
One of the most wonderful things about the Gospel is its simplicity. There is nothing complicated about it. It consist of principles, not of rules; and these principles are so few and easily comprehended that children of tender years can understand them.
