    "But there is a bread that comes down from heaven which a man may eat and not die"(John 6:50).

    As the manna sustained Israel in the wilderness, so God provisions the world with sunshine, rain and the good of the earth. Just and unjust alike thrive on this bounty. But God gives much more. Through his Son grants life in such vigorous, luxuriant supply, death canno...

    "And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day" (John 6:39).

    Behold the anthropocentricity of God. Humans occupy center state in his focus and purpose. He is steadfast in his intention to gather the human race to himself, and death is no barrier to the realization of this aim. Jesus the Son is his medium for accomplishing his de...

    "To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his own blood . . ." (Revelation 1:5).

    Ron Allen

    At Calvary (blood), Christ achieved freedom for mankind; a liberation made true at a point in time; efficient, effective and abiding. It need never be repeated. It issued out of God's good will to men and women.  The cross was the enactment in history of love that alwa...

    " . . . And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead" (Revelation 1:5).

    March 28, 2018

    Ron Allen

    The 'firstborn' is a position of privilege and preeminence in Scripture. To be 'firstborn' among the deceased would seem a dubious honor. But Jesus is firstborn from the dead. That is to say; he is pioneer and leader of a humanity that has experienced death--and overco...

    "Jesus said to them, 'I tell you the truth it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my father who gives you the true bread from heaven'" (John 6:32).

    Moses was the great prophet who stood revered and tall in the religion of Israel. Devout Jews thought Moses, along with the tradition that bore his name, was the true benchmark for religious thought and practice. Jesus was disturbing when he said that nothing that came...

    "I will give you every place where you set your foot as I promised Moses" (Joshua 1:3).

    Ron Allen

    None of us live for very long. Nevertheless, we want God to complete his plan for the world in our lifetime. God keeps his word to Moses, but it's not Moses who sees it but Joshua. We rid ourselves of much restlessness when we are content to let God make good his promi...

    "Then they asked him, 'What must we do to do the works that God requires?' Jesus answered, 'The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent'" (John 6:28,29).

    It is supposed that if we only knew our precise duty we would certainly do it, and all would be well between ourselves and God.  It surprises us that God's interest has little do with us as suppliers of obedience. He prefers us as receivers and trustful beneficiaries o...

    "And the Lord said to Moses, 'Bring the tribe of Levi and present them to Aaron the priest to assist him and the whole community at the Tent of Meeting by doing the work of the tabernacle'" (Numbers 3:5-7).

    Ron Allen

    Many activities and undertakings of a material and practical nature are necessary for the nurture of society. None of them are more vital, however, than the 'the work of the tabernacle.'  No individual or group can long survive without a  life-giving set of values.  We...

    "When they came to Jesus they pleased earnestly with him. 'This man deserves to have you do this because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.' SO Jesus went with them" (Luke 7:4,5).

    March 23, 2018

    Ron Allen

    Did Jesus go with the synagogue elders because the reason proffered for doing so was compelling? If so, he would have endorsed the subtext of many of our prayer requests. We suppose that God values people who prom our interests. No. Jesus had his own reasons. The centu...

    But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well. Do not be afraid little flock, for your father has been pleased to give you the kingdom" (Luke 12:31,32).

    March 22, 2018

    |

    Ron Allen

    The kingdom of God is a state of affairs in which the character and will of God is carried forth and celebrated by all self-conscious beings.  Those who pursue this ideal as a priority, even in a world of rebellion against God's rule, will not be disappointed. The bles...
