John Bunyan — Dost thou understand me, sinful soul…

Dost thou understand me, sinful soul? He wrestled with justice, that thou mightest have rest; He wept and mourned, that thou mightest laugh and rejoice; He was betrayed, that thou mightest go free; was apprehended, that thou mightest escape; He was condemned, that thou mightest be justified; and was killed, that thou mightest live; He wore a crown of thorns, that thou mightest wear a crown of glory; and was nailed to the cross, with His arms wide open, to show with what freeness all His merits shall be bestowed on the coming soul; and how heartily He will receive it into His bosom?

Billy Graham — What kind of place is heaven…

What kind of place is heaven?  First, heaven is home.  The Bible takes the word “home,” with all its tender associations and with all of its sacred memories and tells us that heaven is home.  Second, heaven is a home which is permanent.  We have the promise of a home where Christ’s followers will remain forever.  Third, the Bible teaches that heaven is a home which is beautiful beyond every imagination.  Heaven could not help but be so, because God is a God of beauty.  Fourth, the Bible teaches that heaven will be a home which is happy, because there will be nothing to make it sad.  In heaven, families and friends will be reunited.  God’s house will be a happy home because Christ will be there.  He will be the center of heaven.  To Him all hearts will turn, and upon Him as eyes will rest.
Billy Graham

Brennan Manning — To ascertain where you really are with the Lord…

To ascertain where you really are with the Lord, recall what saddened you the past month.  Was it the realization that you do not love Jesus enough?  That you did not seek his face in prayer often enough?  That you did not care for his people enough?  Or did you get depressed over a lack of respect, criticism from an authority figure, your finances, a lack of friends, fears about the future, or your bulging waistline?

Joni Eareckson Tada — Just think: Every promise God has made…

Just think: Every promise God has ever made finds its fulfillment in Jesus.  God doesn’t just give us grace; he gives us Jesus, the Lord of grace.  If it’s peace, it’s only found in Jesus, the Prince of Peace.  Even life itself is found in the Resurrection and the Life.  Christianity isn’t all that complicated…it’s Jesus.

Watchman-Examiner —

Vital Christian experience comes from knowing Jesus as the living Saviour.  Two irreligious young men were discussing the resurrection, telling each other why it was impossible for them to accept the doctrine.  Then a deacon of a near-by church walked by, and in a joking way one of the young fellows called to him, “Say, Deacon, tell us why you believe that Jesus rose again.”  “Well,” he answered, “one reason is that I was talking with Him for half an hour this very morning.”  We may all experience proof of the resurrection of Christ in the acknowledging of His living presence in our lives.  No one who knows Jesus personally questions the resurrection.

Richard Baxter — Is it a small thing in your eyes to be loved by God…

Is it a small thing in your eyes to be loved by God- to be the son, the spouse, the love, the delight of the King of glory?  Christian, believe this, and think about it: you will be eternally embraced in the arms of the love which was from everlasting, and will extend to everlasting- of the love which brought the Son of God’s love from heaven to earth, from earth to the cross, from the cross to the grave, from the grave to glory- that love which was weary, hungry, tempted, scorned, scourged, buffered, spat upon, crucified, pierced- which fasted, prayed, taught, healed, wept, sweated, bled, died.  That love will eternally embrace you.
Richard Baxter

Leaves of Gold — The friendship of Jesus is lasting…

The friendship of Jesus is lasting.  Other friends may grow old and cold.  It is not so with the friendship of our Savior.  Other friends may possibly misunderstand us, Jesus never.  His love is the same in youth as in old age.  The friendship will rather grow stronger in old age.  When you have lost what to you seemed everything, and you find yourself friendless and alone, despised and forsaken, Jesus will be your dear and precious friend.

Unknown – There is a story about trust in God’s promises…

There is a story about trust in God’s promises that comes from F. W. Boreham.  Boreham tells about an episode during the early days of his ministry in Australia.  He went to call on one of his elderly parishioners.  Entering the room where the old man lay, he noticed a chair pulled up beside the man’s bed.  “I see that I am not your first visitor today,” said Boreham.  The old man then began to explain the presence of the empty chair.  He said that when he was a small boy, he had difficulty praying.  His pastor suggested that he overcome this difficulty by placing an empty chair in front of himself when he prayed, and by simply pretending that Jesus was sitting in that chair like an attentive friend.  He said he had maintained that habit ever since.  Boreham left the house a short while later.  A few days later, however, then man’s daughter came to tell him that he was dead.  “I was out of the room only for a short time,” said the daughter.  “When I returned, he was gone.  There was no change in him except I noticed that his hand was on the chair.”

John T. Faris — A man was carrying a heavy basket…

A man was carrying a heavy basket.  His son asked to help him.  The father cut a stick and placed it through the handle of the basket so that the end toward himself was very short; while the end toward the boy was three or four times as long.  Each took hold of his end of the stick, and the basket was lifted and easily carried.  The son was bearing the burden with the father, but he found his work easy and light because his father assumed the heavy end of the stick.  Just so it is when we bear the yoke with Christ; He sees to it that the burden laid on us is light; He carries the heavy end.

The War Cry — In a British army discussion period…

In a British army discussion period on the religions of the world, men began to voice their opinions concerning Jesus.  To one He was “a good enough man”; to another, “an impossible idealist”; to another, “a revolutionary”; and to another, “a fanatic.”  At last a lad got to his feet and, with flushed face and stammering tongue, said: “Excuse me, but you’re all wrong.  He is more than that.”  The he paused, and a wit who knew the lad interposed with: “He’s got inside information!”  “So I have!” flashed back the young Christian.  “You see, I know Him!”  The men did not laugh.  They recognized the fact that the lad had got hold of something beyond their surface appraisals.

David J. Burrell — Blessed be God for his unspeakable gift…

Blessed be God for his unspeakable gift.  We need Him.  Souls desire Him as the heart panteth after the waterbrooks.  He came to the world in the fullness of time.  He comes at this advent season to us.  Today may be for some soul here the fullness of time.  Let us open the gates and admit Him, that this Christ may be our Christ forever; that living with Him and dying with Him, we may also be glorified together with Him.

Joyce Vaughan Byars — The thought of Jesus Christ laughing…

The thought of Jesus Christ laughing probably is not thought of too much, but it should be.  Amidst the trials of this World, in Him we have ultimate joy, and peace.  When He walked upon this Earth, it is written that He cried, more than once, and though scriptures do not depict the Christ laughing, it is safe to say He did, for He had all human characteristics…His strength was in what He did with them while He walked among us on this Earth.  Once I was told of a little boy about 5 or 6 who was dying, I believe it was of cancer.  He was put down to rest and he went to sleep. The end was not thought to be very far away, and while he was sleeping, he sort of put his arms out, and rolled a little onto one side, then drew his knees up somewhat and started laughing and tilted his head back a little…he continued to laugh for a short time, then he just went limp, and he died.  His mother declares that Jesus Christ came and picked him up in His arms, and carried him to Heaven.  She believes that he was being tickled on the tummy and made him laugh while he was being picked up.  That could very well be true…we have no way of knowing how God handles things in the realm that we have yet to step.  But we know we are safe with Him   Jesus Christ gives us His Peace,
