Happy day!


It was a happy day when the foundation of the earth was laid, for then the morning stars sang together for joy. (Job 38:6-7)

It was a happy day when Adam and Eve first beheld this fair creation, and sang their earliest praise to its great Maker.

It was a joyous night when the shepherds heard the angels announce the birth of the Babe of Bethlehem. (Luke 2:8-14)

It was a happy morn when the women who visited the sepulchre heard angels say, “The Lord is risen.” (Matthew 28:1-8)

But no day nor night has yet been seen as happy as that last day shall be, when the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion singing, and crowned with everlasting joy. (Isaiah 51:11)

Of all the happy multitude then assembled, not one will feel so vast a tide of happiness springing up in his soul as the Lord Himself as He will be the fountain of all the joy flowing in every heart.

Then He will see all that is accomplished by His anguish, and be satisfied; satisfied that He left His throne of glory; satisfied that He trod this sorrowful earth; satisfied that He bled upon the cross; satisfied that He loved us, and freed us from our sins by shedding His own blood.

What are we doing about Christ?

Note: Read the full story of the healing of the man born blind in John 9 . ——————— Jesus asked the man born blind whom He had healed, “Do you believe on the Son of God?” The poor man answered, “Who is He, Lord, that I might believe on Him?” Ignorance was the only thing that kept this man from believing. The Lord immediately took it away by saying, “You have both seen Him, and it is He who talks with you.” Then the man said, “Lord, I believe.” And he worshiped Him. We are not in his state of ignorance. None of us can say, “Who is the Son of God, that we might believe on Him?” We heard since childhood that JESUS was the Son of God. Though we have not seen Him, and though He has not talked with us, yet we know that He died for us, and that He is always living to plead on our behalf, if we come to God in His name. The poor man did not know so much as this, when he said, “Lord, I believe.” Yet how hard-hearted and ungrateful we should deem him, if he had not believed in the One who had done...

God always lived

Jesus said, ‘In very truth I tell you, before Abraham was born, I am.’ ( John 8:58 NEB'70 ) ——————— The expression “I am,” gives the idea of an existence which had no beginning, and will have no end. Such is God's existence. He is the first and the last. He always lived. We, in our finite minds, can never grasp this. However, we can rejoice in the thought that before we were even born God already existed. Among other things, this would mean that no plans could be formed against us, before He had arranged everything concerning us! “Known to God are all His works since the beginning of the world.” ( Acts 15:18 )

Are you prepared to meet the Lord?

Are you living your life today in a way you would wish you had lived, if tomorrow you were to find yourself dying? Is there any sin you are practicing, which you should immediately forsake if you knew this day was your last? Where is the man who can sincerely say that this day may not be his last? With some people this day is the last day; with many more this week is the last week; with thousands this is the last month; with millions the last year. Are you prepared to meet the Lord? If not, why don't you prepare immediately? There is a fountain opened to cleanse all sin, in which everyone may immediately wash. Yet how many have never washed in it! If Christ were to come now, He would find them still in their sins. Do not say, “He will not come yet.” Remember, it is very dangerous to even think, “My master won't be back for a while.” (See Luke 12:45-46 .)
