In the person of Jesus Christ, we observe many excellent qualities coming together. Many of his qualities seem to be very different from one another, such as power and humility, or sovereignty over all things and submission to the Father. This diversity leads to two very different scriptural designations for him: Lion and Lamb. In The Excellency of Christ, Jonathan Edwards makes the point that these diverse qualities should move people to admire the Lord Jesus Christ on a high level. Edwards maintains that especially at the cross, we see Christ exhibiting both his powerful lion-like might ...

Nothing lifts our spirits and brings us peace, as does hearing the good news of great joy, which is for all people—and that is the miraculous birth of our Savior. In recent years, you have noticed a shocking failure on the part of pastors to bring forth this good news. The Incarnation. Angelic visitations. Kings and wise men seeking and worshipping the newborn Babe. God wrapped in human flesh! Everyone involved rejoicing exceedingly at the hearing of it! Of a truth, it is one of three Great Events of history. Yet today the church avoids it. Avoids celebrating and sharing His triumphant ...

Baptist congregations formed their first national organization the Triennial Convention in the early 1800.

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 177 Jacob of Serugh (451–521) is one of the great poets of the early Syriac tradition. His meditations focus us on the centrality of divine love as he understood it in the context of scripture. These reflections on the mysteries of salvation were prefaces to his homilies; as Sebastian Brock remarks in his Foreword, they ‘are beautiful little gems in their own right.’ In this book, Mary Hansbury presents a selection of the richest and most theologically profound of Jacob’s prayers. They introduce us to his warm pastoral concern for the spiritual and theological...
