As in Adam, every heir of flesh and blood has a personal interest, because he is the covenant head and representative of the race as considered under the law of works; so under the law of grace, every redeemed soul is one with the Lord from heaven, since he is the […]
- Thought for the morning of Fri December 25Verse"Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." — isa 7:14ThoughtLet us to-day go down to Bethlehem, and in company with wondering shepherds and adoring Magi, let us see him who was born King of the Jews, for we by faith can claim an interest in him, and can sing, "Unto us a child is born, unto u […]
