The cripple at Lystra


The cripple at Lystra

‘The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.’ Acts 14:9–10

Suggested Further Reading: 
Acts 10:34–43

God, looking upon the race of men, beheld them lost and ruined. Out of love to them he sent his only-begotten Son, 
the Lord Jesus Christ, who was born of the virgin Mary, lived some thirty-two or thirty-three years a life of spotless innocence and perfect obedience to God. He was God: he was man. 

In due time he was delivered up by the traitor Judas. He was crucified, and actually put to death. Though he was the Lord of life and glory, ‘who only hath immortality,’ yet he bowed his head and gave up the ghost. 

After three days he rose again, and showed himself to many of his disciples, so that they were well assured he was the same person who had been put into the grave; and when the forty days were finished he ascended up to heaven in the sight of them all, where he sits at the right hand of God, and shall also come before long a second time to judge both the living and the dead. 

These were the facts which Paul would state. God was made flesh and dwelt amongst us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. 

‘This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.’ Briefly, these were the facts which Paul would preach, and if any of these facts be preached doubtfully, or be left out of any ministry, then the gospel is not preached; for the foundations upon which the gospel rests have been removed, and then what can the righteous do?

For meditation: 

Paul’s summary of the central facts of the gospel he preached (1 Corinthians 15:1–4). 
He was not ashamed of the gospel (Romans 1:16) but preached it fully (Romans 15:19). 
Do you want to avoid or hush up any of the facts of the gospel? Alternative versions of the gospel are actually perversions (Galatians 1:6–7).

Who are elected?



Who are elected?

‘And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him, for this is he.’
 1 Samuel 16:12

Suggested Further Reading: 
Psalm 23:1–6

I have laboured in your presence to preach up the privilege of strong faith; I have urged you to strive after full assurance of faith; but never let these lips say a word or a syllable against that holy carefulness which makes a broad distinction between presumption and assurance. 

Depend upon it, privilege preached always without precept will breed a surfeit and lethargy in God’s people: what we want at certain seasons is, not a promise, but a telling, burning word of self-examination, the flavour of which we may not like, but which shall work in our souls spiritual good of a more lasting sort than sweet comforts would bring to us. 

Examine yourselves, dear friends, then, by this. I do not ask you whether your hearts are perfect—they are not; I do not ask you whether your hearts never go astray, for they are prone to wander; but I do ask you: Is your heart resting upon Jesus Christ? 
Is it a believing heart? 
Does your heart meditate upon divine things? 
Does it find its best solace there?
 Is your heart a humble heart?
 Are you constrained to ascribe all to sovereign grace?
 Is your heart a holy heart?
 Do you desire holiness? Do you find your pleasure in it? Is your heart bold for God?
 Does your heart ascribe praises to God?
 Is it a grateful heart?
 And is it a heart that is wholly fixed upon God, desiring never to go astray?
 If it be, then you have marks of election. 

Search for these, and add to all your searching this prayer, ‘Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.’

For meditation: 

Earlier in this sermon, Spurgeon illustrated the marks of election from Psalm 23: a heart that is believing (v 1), meditative (v 2), humble (vv 2–3a), holy (v 3b), brave (v 4), contented and grateful (v 5), constant (v 6). 
Can you see these marks in yourself?

MIGHTY WARRIOR

Faithful and Useful


Faithful and Useful

"Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, 
that they may dwell with me: 
he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me"   
(Psalm 101:6).

If David spoke thus, we may be sure that the Son of David will be of the same mind. Jesus looks out for faithful men, and He fixes His eyes upon them, to observe them, to bring them forward, to encourage them, and to reward them. Let no true-hearted man think that he is overlooked; the King Himself has His eye upon him.

There are two results of this royal notice. First we read, "That they may dwell with me." Jesus brings the faithful into His house, He sets them in His palace, He makes them His companions, He delights in their society. 

We must be true to our LORD, and He will then manifest Himself to us. When our faithfulness costs us most, it will be best rewarded; the more furiously men reject, the more joyfully will our LORD receive us.

Next, he says of the sincere man, "He shall serve me." Jesus will use for His own glory those who scorn the tricks of policy and are faithful to Himself, His Word, and His cross. 

These shall be in His royal retinue, the honored servants of His Majesty. Communion and usefulness are the wages of faithfulness. LORD make me faithful that I may dwell with Thee and serve Thee.
