Thoughts of

The Grain of Wheat

Henry Ward Beecher


On unrolling some of the old Egyptian mummies, you will find wheat three thousand years old.

The Greek empire has risen and gone; the Roman empire has been riven and its dust has been blown away, and civilization has developed since the careful attendants rolled up that wheat; it has lain three thousand years doing nothing but keeping unconscious company with hideous mummies; and yet when taken out and planted in a field it goes to work, comes up, develops a stem, and brings forth fruit as though it had not taken a wink of sleep.

And if wheat will keep as long as that, I am sure that men will. Though they are for years wrapped up, yet when God unrolls them the seed will come up and the germ grow again. Then let us take a broader view.

Do not think of life as in the compass of a pint or a gill. Measure existence on a broader scale. How infinite the space! How enormous the duration! How transcendent the capacity which belongs to the human soul!—BEECHER.



The precious blood of the Lamb slain removes the guilt and purges away the defilement of our sins of ignorance and carelessness.

Sanctifying Joy and Cleansing Grace

Charles Spurgeon
Amid the cheerfulness of household gatherings, it is easy to slide into sinful amusements and forget our declared character as Christians. It should not be so, but it is, that our days of feasting are very seldom days of sanctified enjoyment.
In Christmas, the worlds of secular and spiritual come together.

The Transcendental Importance of Christmas

Philip Yancey
Unlike most people, I do not feel much Dickensian nostalgia at Christmastime. The holiday fell just a few days after my father died early in my childhood, and all my memories of the season are darkened by the shadow of that sadness.
The gospel is good news, and God will give them the peace they need to submit to Him.

The Message of Christmas

Charles Stanley
One of the messages that we learn from the Christmas story is that of peace. While God might appear overwhelming at times, He always wants to give us the assurance that with Him, peace reigns, even in the announcement of His Son’s birth.
Why is this analogy important to us today? It is because we are the sheep and Jesus is the Shepherd.

The Voice of the Shepherd

Charles Stanley
Have you ever seen a child who cannot find his mother in a crowd? Although she may be out of sight, the little tyke may still hear her voice. It is almost as though his inner radar scans the sounds around him, looking for that one familiar tone.
Embrace your weakness and put your trust in the Holy Spirit. That’s where the real power resides.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Where the Real Power Resides

Charles R. Swindoll
The great apostle Paul was just like you and me. He had a love for God blended with feet of clay. Great passion . . . and great weakness. The longer I thought about this blend, the more evidence emerged from Scripture to support it.
