Three Crosses   “But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.”— Galatians vi.14.   WHENEVER we rebuke other people we should be prepared to clear ourselves of their offence. The apostle had been rebuking those who wished to glory …

Men Bewitched

January 1, 1970

MEN BE WITCHED.   “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched, you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?”— Galatians iii. 1.   WITH very great enthusiasm the Galatians received the gospel when Paul preached it to them. They seem to have been a very warm-hearted but …

Our Manifesto

January 25, 1891

Our Manifesto   “But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.” — Galatians i. 11.   To me it is a pitiful sight to see Paul defending himself as an apostle; and doing this, not against the gainsaying world, but against coldhearted members of the church. They said that he …

Galatians:1:11

A Mediator

February 23, 1890

A Mediator   “Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.”— Galatians iii. 20.   THE text does not strike you as difficult, but it is exceedingly perplexing to the interpreter. I was looking at one very old commentator, who is a great favourite of mine, and I noticed that he said that there …

Christ First, Me last: Nothing Between but Love   “The faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”— Galatians ii. 20.   PAUL looks at the matter of salvation from the point of view suggested by grace. If any man might have said, “The Son of God, whom I have loved, and to …

Galatians:2:20

Under Arrest

March 3, 1887

Under Arrest   “But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.” — Galatians iii. 23.   THIS is a condensed history of the Jews before the gospel was fully preached to them. Before the clear and plain revelation of the way of salvation— that is to say, …

Galatians:3:23

Burden-Bearing

August 26, 1886

Burden-Bearing   “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ Every man shall bear his own burden.” — Galatians vi. 2, 5.   OBSERVE, dear friends, that the apostle says, in the second verse of this chapter, “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” These Galatians had been trying to …
