That which Christ discerned they could not see. They did not understand the nature of Christ’s kingdom, and this ignorance was the apparent cause of their contention. But the real cause lay deeper. By explaining the nature of the kingdom, Christ might for the time have quelled their strif...

For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”— Matthew 11:29 , 30 In these words Christ is speaking to every human being. Whether they know it or not, all are weary and heavy-laden.

Jesus, Name Above All Names — Day 89 of 372 Divine Worker, March 23 “I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day.”— John 9:4 God has a purpose in sending trial to His children.

He subjects them to discipline to humble them—to lead them, through trial and affliction, to see their weakness and to draw near unto Him. As they cry to Him for help, He responds, sayi...

He knew that those who petitioned Him for help had brought disease upon themselves; yet He did not refuse to heal them. And w...

Jesus, Name Above All Names — Day 87 of 372 Healer of the Soul, March 21 When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.”— Matthew 9:2 There are today thousands suffering from physical disease, who, like the paralytic, are longing for the message, “Thy sins are forgiven.” The burden of sin, with its unrest and unsatisfied desires, is the foundation of their maladies.

Jesus, Name Above All Names — Day 85 of 372 Saviour-Shepherd, March 19 “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”— John 10:27 As the shepherd leads his flock over the rocky hills, through forest and wild ravines, to grassy nooks by the riverside; as he watches them on the mountains through the lonely night, shielding from robbers, caring tenderly for the sickly and feeble, his life comes to be one with theirs.

Jesus, Name Above All Names — Day 82 of 372 Divine One, March 16 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.— Romans 12:2 In the life of the disciple John true sanctification is exemplified. During the years of his close association with Christ, he was often warned and cautioned by the Saviour; and these reproofs he accepted. As the character of the Divine One was manifested to him, John saw his own deficiencies, and was humbled by the revelation. Day by day, in contrast with his own violent spirit, he beheld the te...
