The Robe of Righteousness
At Mount Zion Chapel, Chadwell Street, Clerkenwell, On Lord’s-Day Evening, 4th October, 1874. “He hath covered me with the robe of righteousness.”—Isaiah 61:10It does not appear that Christ took any particular text when he preached the sermon on the mount; but he proceeded at once to say—Blessed is this class, and that class, and the other class of persons. But shortly after this, he went into a synagogue, and they gave him the book of the prophet Esaias, and he opened it and read the first two verses of this chapter:—“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to…

Grace and Glory
It is infinitely important to possess the Spirit of God, and to have "the love of God shed abroad in one's heart by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us." Having this, of course we are lovers of God; and if lovers of God, we are lovers of everything that is godly, or God-like; and therefore, it is a very great mercy for us that the Holy Spirit has condescended to mention a very considerable number of infallible evidences of Christianity,—of interest in the everlasting love of God. The child of God has frequently derived comfort from the declaration of Divine truth by the Apostle John,—“By this we know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren." If, therefore,…

Christ’s Incarnation And Resurrection
A Sermon Preached by Mr. Hazelton, At Mount Zion Chapel, Chadwell Street, Clerkenwell, On Lord’s-Day Evening, 23rd July, 1876. “Remember that Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead, according to my Gospel.”—2 Timothy 2:8The Christian ministry is a divine institution, and therefore its importance in the economy of grace is great. It is founded on the great facts that Jesus Christ having redeemed sinners, it is the intention of the everlasting God, to call and comfort the ransomed by the preaching of the Word, and, therefore, the Great Redeemer said to His disciples shortly after His resurrection, and before His ascension into heaven: “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” All the world is…

Abiding in Christ
A Sermon Preached by Joseph Philpot at Providence Chapel, Eden Street, London, on Tuesday Evening, July 6, 1847 "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me." John 15:4 Have you ever considered the experience of the disciples when their Lord and Master was sojourning here below? To my mind, there is something very instructive, and, I may add, very encouraging in it. On the one hand, observe how ignorant they were of the nature of Christ's kingdom! Two of the most eminent of them besought him that they might sit, the one on his right hand, and the other on his left, in…

Why Did Christ Die?
According to some people, Christ died to give all a chance of being saved! I do not know that I hate anything more in my soul than to hear that. It makes Jesus Christ so little that He should do so much, and after all only to get us a chance of being saved. Why, if a man is set up in business, you see how often it happens that he fails in it; and if man cannot manage the paltry things of time and sense without being insolvent, what will he do with eternal realities? And if you come a little closer, when God "made man upright" and he had no sinful nature, what did he do with his innocence? He lost it all!…
