A Whisper of Truth

A Mere Whisper of Truth as to His Birth.

What perfection and perfections we find in the Gospel accounts. The narrative in each is determined by the writers presentation of the Person of Christ. For He has the pre-eminence in each and all of them, as he must!

In reference to His birth into this scene it is instructive to see this principle regarding the peculiar way in which He is set forth by the individual writer.

The promise of His birth as recorded in Matthew, who presents the Lord Jesus as the Christ, the Messiah, is revealed to Joseph, thus establishing His lineage.

While the visit of Gentile Magi is recorded in this same Gospel, though primarily addressed to Jews. The magi worship Him as King!

In Lukes' Gospel account, addressed in the first instance to Gentiles, He is worshipped as the lowly Babe in manhood, for Luke presents Him as Son of Man. The revelation of His birth is here vouchsafed to Mary, as His humanity is traced through her.



Pilgrim Songs

"PILGRIM SONGS"

This is the title of a little volume written by a greatly appreciated Bible teacher of the 19th century, Edward Dennett. It has been a long time out of print and thoroughly deserves to be made available to the Lords' people once again.

The sub-title makes clear the nature of the study; meditations on the Psalms of Ascent. 

The first few addresses proved a little disappointing to me, the exposition seemed to be stating the obvious. But having waited so long for a copy I persevered, and was richly rewarded! The more I read, the more delightsome and sweet the meditations proved.

Edward Dennetts' works are superlative and this is a lovely little addition to my "library."

"Scripture Truth Library" is serving the saints with a precious ministry. Some of their reprints are based upon the electronic text provided by STEM Publishing, another profitable ministry for believers today.

The only minimal criticism is the lack of a careful proof-reader. There are a few mistakes, but so insignificant they cannot detract from the edification with which this little volume of "Meditations" thrills the soul. I commend it unreservedly to the Lords' people.

(I bought my copy from a book distributor "post-free.")
