Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God...2 Corinthians 5:20 King James Version (KJV)

He takes away the hunger of the heart !!!



He takes away the hunger of the heart !!!


Faith saves us just as the mouth saves from hunger.
If we be hungry, bread is the real cure for hunger, but still it would be right to say that eating removes hunger, seeing that the bread itself could not benefit us, 
unless the mouth should eat it.

 Faith is the soul’s mouth, whereby the hunger of the heart is removed.
 Christ also is the brazen serpent lifted up; all the healing virtue is in him; 
yet no healing virtue comes out of the brazen serpent to any who will not look; 
so that the looking is rightly considered to be the act which saves. 

True, in the deepest sense it is Christ uplifted who saves, to him be all the glory;
 but without looking to him ye cannot be saved, so that 
“There is life in a look,” 
as well as life in the Savior to whom you look. 


Nothing is yours until you appropriate it. 
From a sermon by Charles Haddon Spurgeon entitled "Saving Faith," delivered March 15, 1874.

"Now on whom dost thou trust?"


"Now on whom dost thou trust?"
—Isaiah 36:5.
READER, this is an important question. Listen to the Christian's answer, and see if it is yours. "On whom dost thou trust?" "I trust," says the Christian, "in a triune God.

 I trust the Father, believing that He has chosen me from before the foundations of the world; I trust Him to provide for me in providence, to teach me, to guide me, to correct me if need be, 
and to bring me home to His own house where the many mansions are.

 I trust the Son.
 Very God of very God is He—the man Christ Jesus. 

I trust in Him to take away all my sins by His own sacrifice, 
and to adorn me with His perfect righteousness.

 I trust Him to be my Intercessor, to present my prayers and desires before His Father's throne, and I trust Him to be my Advocate at the last great day, 
to plead my cause, and to justify me. 

I trust Him for what He is, for what He has done, and for what He has promised yet to do. 
And I trust the Holy Spirit—He has begun to save me from my inbred sins; 

I trust Him to drive them all out; I trust Him to curb my temper, to subdue my will, to enlighten my understanding, to check my passions, to comfort my despondency,
 to help my weakness, to illuminate my darkness;


 I trust Him to dwell in me as my life, to reign in me as my King, to sanctify me wholly, spirit, soul, and body, and then to take me up to dwell with the saints in light for ever."



Oh, blessed trust! 
To trust Him whose power will never be exhausted, whose love will never wane, whose kindness will never change, whose faithfulness will never fail, whose wisdom will never be nonplussed, 
and whose perfect goodness can never know a diminution! 

Happy art thou, reader, if this trust is thine! 
So trusting, thou shalt enjoy sweet peace now, 
and glory hereafter, and the foundation of thy trust shall never be removed.

"Wherefore hast Thou afflicted Thy servant?"


"Wherefore hast Thou afflicted Thy servant?" 
—Numbers 11:11.
OUR heavenly Father sends us frequent troubles to try our faith.
 If our faith be worth anything, it will stand the test.

Gilt is afraid of fire, but gold is not: the paste gem dreads to be touched by the diamond, 
but the true jewel fears no test. 

It is a poor faith which can only trust God when friends are true, the body full of health, and the business profitable; but that is true faith which holds by the Lord's faithfulness when friends are gone, when the body is sick, when spirits are depressed,
 and the light of our Father's countenance is hidden.

A faith which can say, in the direst trouble, 
"Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him," 
is heaven-born faith.

 The Lord afflicts His servants to glorify Himself, for He is greatly glorified in the graces of His people, which are His own handiwork.

When "tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope," the Lord is honoured by these growing virtues.

 We should never know the music of the harp if the strings were left untouched; nor enjoy the juice of the grape if it were not trodden in the winepress; nor discover the sweet perfume of cinnamon if it were not pressed and beaten; 
nor feel the warmth of fire if the coals were not utterly consumed.

The wisdom and power of the great Workman are discovered by the trials through which His vessels of mercy are permitted to pass. 

Present afflictions tend also to heighten future joy. 
There must be shades in the picture to bring out the beauty of the lights. 

Could we be so supremely blessed in heaven,
 if we had not known the curse of sin and the sorrow of earth? 
Will not peace be sweeter after conflict, and rest more welcome after toil? 
Will not the recollection of past sufferings enhance the bliss of the glorified? 
There are many other comfortable answers to the question with which we opened our brief meditation, let us muse upon it all day long.

"He had married an Ethiopian woman."—

"He had married an Ethiopian woman."
—Numbers 12:1.


STRANGE choice of Moses, but how much more strange the choice of Him who is a prophet like unto Moses, and greater than he! Our Lord, who is fair as the lily, has entered into marriage union with one who confesses herself to be black, because the sun has looked upon her. 


It is the wonder of angels that the love of Jesus should be set upon poor, lost, guilty men. 
Each believer must, when filled with a sense of Jesus' love, be also overwhelmed with astonishment that such love should be lavished on an object so utterly unworthy of it. 


Knowing as we do our secret guiltiness, unfaithfulness, and black-heartedness, we are dissolved in grateful admiration of the matchless freeness and sovereignty of grace. 


Jesus must have found the cause of His love in His own heart, He could not have found it in us, 
for it is not there. 


Even since our conversion we have been black, though grace has made us comely. 
Holy Rutherford said of himself what we must each subscribe to—
"His relation to me is, that I am sick, and He is the Physician of whom I stand in need. 


Alas! how often I play fast and loose with Christ! He bindeth, I loose; He buildeth, I cast down;
 I quarrel with Christ, and He agreeth with me twenty times a day!" 


Most tender and faithful Husband of our souls, pursue Thy gracious work of conforming us to Thine image, till Thou shalt present even us poor Ethiops unto Thyself, 
without spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing.

Moses met with opposition because of his marriage, 
and both himself and his spouse were the subjects of an evil eye.


 Can we wonder if this vain world opposes Jesus and His spouse, 
and especially when great sinners are converted? 


for this is ever the Pharisee's ground of objection,
 "This man receiveth sinners." 


Still is the old cause of quarrel revived, "Because he had married an Ethiopian woman."

"Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst."


"Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst."—John 4:14.

HE who is a believer in Jesus finds enough in his Lord to satisfy him now, 
and to content him for evermore. 

The believer is not the man whose days are weary for want of comfort, and whose nights are long from absence of heart-cheering thought, for he finds in religion such a spring of joy, 
such a fountain of consolation, that he is content and happy. 

Put him in a dungeon and he will find good company; place him in a barren wilderness, he will eat the bread of heaven; drive him away from friendship, he will meet the 
"friend that sticketh closer than a brother." 

Blast all his gourds, and he will find shadow beneath the Rock of Ages; 
sap the foundation of his earthly hopes, but his heart will still be fixed, 
trusting in the Lord. 

The heart is as insatiable as the grave till Jesus enters it, and then it is a cup full to overflowing. There is such a fulness in Christ that He alone is the believer's all. 

The true saint is so completely satisfied with the all-sufficiency of Jesus that he thirsts no more—except it be for deeper draughts of the living fountain.

 In that sweet manner, believer, shalt thou thirst; it shall not be a thirst of pain, but of loving desire; thou wilt find it a sweet thing to be panting after a fuller enjoyment of Jesus' love.

 One in days of yore said, "I have been sinking my bucket down into the well full often, but now my thirst after Jesus has become so insatiable, that I long to put the well itself to my lips, and drink right on."

 Is this the feeling of thine heart now, believer? 
Dost thou feel that all thy desires are satisfied in Jesus, and that thou hast no want now, 
but to know more of Him; and to have closer fellowship with Him? 
Then come continually to the fountain, 
and take of the water of life freely. 

Jesus will never think you take too much, but will ever welcome you, saying, 
"Drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved."

"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved."


"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved."—Mark 16:16.
MR. MacDonald asked the inhabitants of the island of St. Kilda how a man must be saved. 
An old man replied, "We shall be saved if we repent, and forsake our sins, and turn to God." 

"Yes," said a middle-aged female, "and with a true heart too.
"Ay," rejoined a third, "and with prayer"; and, added a fourth, 
"It must be the prayer of the heart." 

"And we must be diligent too," said a fifth, "in keeping the commandments." 
Thus, each having contributed his mite, feeling that a very decent creed had been made up, they all looked and listened for the preacher's approbation, but they had aroused his deepest pity. 

The carnal mind always maps out for itself a way in which self can work and become great, but the Lord's way is quite the reverse. 

Believing and being baptized are no matters of merit to be gloried in—they are so simple that boasting is excluded, and free grace bears the palm. 

It may be that the reader is unsaved—what is the reason? 
Do you think the way of salvation as laid down in the text to be dubious?

How can that be when God has pledged His own word for its certainty? 
Do you think it too easy? 
Why, then, do you not attend to it? 
Its ease leaves those without excuse who neglect it. 

To believe is simply to trust, to depend, to rely upon Christ Jesus.
 To be baptized is to submit to the ordinance which our Lord fulfilled at Jordan, 
to which the converted ones submitted at Pentecost, 
to which the jailer yielded obedience the very night of his conversion. 

The outward sign saves not, but it sets forth to us our death, burial, and resurrection with Jesus, and, like the Lord's Supper, is not to be neglected. Reader, do you believe in Jesus? 

Then, dear friend, dismiss your fears, you shall be saved. 
Are you still an unbeliever, then remember there is but one door, and if you will not enter by it you will perish in your sins.
