The chief of sinners


The chief of sinners

‘Sinners; of whom I am chief.’ 1 Timothy 1:15

Suggested Further Reading: 2 John 7–11

Here I ought to include those who hold views derogatory of the deity and the person of Christ. Faithfulness to you, my hearers, compels me to include the Socinian; I will not call him Unitarian, for we all hold the unity of the Godhead.

 Trinitarians, but Unitarians are we still. Far otherwise the Socinian and the Arian—I include them here—the men who say that Christ is not God, that the Redeemer of the world was but the son of Mary, that he who walked the waters of the deep, chained the winds, cast out evil spirits, and made even Hades startle with his voice when the soul of Lazarus came back—that he was but a prophet, a creature, a mere man.

 Surely, sir, you are the chief of sinners to have talked thus of him who is ‘very God of very God,’ the express image of his Father’s person. But even to you is Jesus gracious, and he bids you still believe in him. You shall bow the knee to him one day, and worship him, for ‘at the name of Jesus every knee should bow…and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.’

 Bow your knee now, and ‘kiss the Son lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little.’ He bids you come to him, then will he blot out ‘as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins.’ 

The chief of sinners, we are sure, are found among those who directly attack the person of Jehovah’s Christ, yet even to these is the gospel of salvation sent.

For meditation: 

Sin is not limited to outward acts; it refers also to inward thoughts, desires and attitudes. If the sixth and seventh commandments can be broken inwardly (Matthew 5:21–22,27–28), so can the first three commandments concerning the character and name of God (Exodus 20:3–7; John 5:22–23). ‘Jesus is Jehovah’ (Romans 10:9) and Jehovah’s Christ saves even ‘Jehovah’s’ Witnesses when they stop denying him and start trusting in him!

The duty of remembering the poor




The duty of remembering the poor

“Only they would that we should remember the poor; 
the same which I also was forward to do.” 
Galatians 2:10

Suggested Further Reading: 
James 2:1-17

If you do not help the one that you see has the greatest need, I am afraid the love of God dwelleth not in you. It is a duty we owe to the poor of the Lord’s flock, and we reap many advantages we should not have if we had not to remember the poor. 

Now, allow me to press home this obligation: why should we remember the poor? I shall not urge it upon the ground of common philanthropy and charity; that were a too mean and low way of addressing Christian men, although even they perhaps might be benefited by it.

 I shall urge it in another way. “Remember the poor,” because they are your Lord’s brethren. What! Do you not feel, like David, that you would do anything for Jonathan’s sake? And if he hath some poor sick son, some Mephibosheth, lame in his feet, wilt thou not seat him at thy table, or give him a maintenance, if thou canst, seeing that Jonathan’s blood is in his veins? Remember, beloved, the blood of Jesus runs in the veins of poor saints; they are his relatives, they are his friends; and if that move thee not, remember, they are thy friends too.

 They are thy brethren if thou art a child of God; they are allied to thee; if they are sons of God, so art thou, and they are brethren of thine. What! Let thy brother starve? If thou canst, wilt thou not relieve thy brother’s necessity, not shield him from the cold, not ward off hunger, not provide for his needs? Oh! I know thou lovest Jesus; I know thou lovest the friends of Jesus, and I know thou lovest thine own family; and, therefore, thou wilt love thy poor brethren, wilt thou not? I know thou wilt; thou wilt relieve them.

For meditation:

 Do you discriminate against some of your brothers and sisters in Christ? Your heavenly Father doesn’t 
(Galatians 3:28; Ephesians 6:9).
