By examining Reformation-era c...

He surveyed texts showing Jesus' own robust prayer life (Luke 5:16, Mark 1:35, Luke 6:12), arguing from the lesser to the greater that if Jesus needed to pray, how much more do we. From Matthew 7:7-11 and the parables of the friend at midnight (Luke 11:5-8) and the persistent...

Gill most eloquently said, the first and chief over all persons, angels, and men; having a superior nature, name, and place, than the former, and being the firstborn among many brethren designed by the latter: and in all things he is the first, and has the precedence and primacy; in sonship, no one is a Son in the sense he is; in election, he was chosen first, and his people in him; in the covenan...

The text emphasizes that this humiliation...

The sermon examines Hebrews 9:13-14 to contrast the insufficiency of Old Testament animal sacrifices with the sufficiency of Christ's atoning work. It argues that while animal blood could only cleanse the flesh, the blood of Christ, offered without blemish through the eternal Spirit, cleanses the conscience from dead works. The exposition highlights the theological distinction between the innocenc...
