    O child of God, death hath lost its sting, because the devil’s power over it is destroyed. Then cease to fear dying. Ask grace from God the Holy Ghost, that by an intimate knowledge and a firm belief of thy Redeemer’s death, thou mayst be strengthened for that dread hour. Living near the cross of…

  • HOSANNA, LOUD HOSANNA

    Amazing Grace Jennette Threlfall, 1821–1880 Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest. (Matthew 21:9) The week preceding Easter Sunday is known as Holy or Passion Week. These seven days have been described as the most intense and important week of history.…

  • Morning & Evening

    No mean miracle was wrought in the rending of so strong and thick a veil; but it was not intended merely as a display of power—many lessons were herein taught us. The old law of ordinances was put away, and like a worn-out vesture, rent and laid aside. When Jesus died, the sacrifices were all…

  • JESUS PAID IT ALL

    Amazing Grace Elvina M. Hall, 1820–1889 “Come now, let us reason together,” says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.” (Isaiah 1:18) It has been stated that all religious systems can be spelled with just two…

    Rahab depended for her preservation upon the promise of the spies, whom she looked upon as the representatives of the God of Israel. Her faith was simple and firm, but it was very obedient. To tie the scarlet line in the window was a very trivial act in itself, but she dared not run the…

  • BENEATH THE CROSS OF JESUS

    Amazing Grace Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830–1869 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. (1 Corinthians 1:18 KJV) There is no neutral ground when we face the cross: Either we accept its atoning work and become a new person,…

  • Morning & Evening

    Standing at the foot of the cross, we see hands, and feet, and side, all distilling crimson streams of precious blood. It is “precious” because of its redeeming and atoning efficacy. By it the sins of Christ’s people are atoned for; they are redeemed from under the law; they are reconciled to God, made one…

  • IN THE CROSS OF CHRIST I GLORY

    Amazing Grace John Bowring, 1792–1872 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. (Galatians 6:14) The cross has been the most significant symbol of the Christian faith throughout church history. It is said that as many…

  • Morning & Evening

    We here behold the Saviour in the depth of his sorrows. No other place so well shows the griefs of Christ as Calvary, and no other moment at Calvary is so full of agony as that in which his cry rends the air—“My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” At this moment physical…
