Ten Questions to Ask About The Passion of the Christ - Donald S. Whitney
The 2004 movie produced by Mel Gibson, The Passion of the Christ, is one of the most popular and controversial films of our time. These questions will help in thinking through the movie, or in discussing it with others. - More

The Resurrection of Christ: A Historical Fact - Benjamin B. Warfield
The Resurrection of Christ is a fact, an external occurrence within the cognizance of men to be established by their testimony. And yet, it is the cardinal doctrine of our system: on it all other doctrines hang. - More

Looking at the Cross from God's Perspective - John MacArthur
What did the Cross mean to God? We know what Jesus'death meant to us. We know what it meant to Christ. But what did it mean to God? What is His perspective on that great event? - More

Our Lord as a Believing Man - Alexander Whyte
The workings of our Lord's human mind, the affections and the emotions of our Lord's human heart, and all the spiritual experiences of our Lord's human life-take Jesus Christ in all these things, and He is the most absorbing, the most satisfying, and the most sanctifying study in all the universe. - More

Pictures of Christ - John Murray
The question of the propriety of pictorial representations of the Saviour is one that merits examination. It must be granted that the worship of Christ is central in our holy faith, and the thought of the Saviour must in every instance be accompanied with that reverence which belongs to his worship. - More

The Resurrection of Christ - J. Gresham Machen
Some nineteen hundred years ago, in an obscure corner of the Roman Empire, there lived one who, to a casual observer might have seemed to be a remarkable man. - More

A Display of Christ - Part IX (First Branch of Christ's Prophetical Office) - John Flavel
Having shown the solemn preparations, both by the Father and the Son, for the blessed design of reconciling us by the meritorious mediation of Christ, and taken a general view of the nature of his mediation, I proceed to show how he executes it in the discharge of his blessed offices of Prophet, Priest, and King. - More

A Display of Christ - Part VIII (Of the Nature of Christ's Mediation) - John Flavel
Great and long preparations bespeak the solemnity and greatness of the work for which they are designed. A man that had seen the heaps of gold, silver, and brass which David amassed in his time for the building of the temple, might easily conclude before one stone of it was laid, that it would be a magnificent structure. - More

A Display of Christ - Part VII (Of the Solemn Consecration of the Mediator) - John Flavel
Jesus Christ being fitted with a body, and authorized by a commission from the Father, now actually devotes, and sets himself apart to his work: the further advancement of the glorious design of our salvation. He sanctified himself for our sakes. - More

A Display of Christ - Part VI (Of the Authority by which Christ, as Mediator, Acted - John Flavel
"For him hath God the Father sealed." - John, 6:27. This Scripture is a part of Christ's excellent reply to an earthly-minded multitude, who followed him, not for any spiritual excellencies that they saw in him, or soul-advantages they expected by him, but for bread. - More

A Display of Christ - Part V (Of Christ's Wonderful Person) - John Flavel
He that undertakes to satisfy God by obedience for man’s sin, must himself be God; and he that performs such a perfect obedience, by doing and suffering all that the law required, in our room, must be man. These two natures must be united in one person, else there could not be a cooperation of each nature in his mediatorial work. - More

A Display of Christ - Part IV (The Adorable Love of God in Giving His Own Son for Us) - John Flavel
How is this gift of God to sinners signalized in that sentence of the apostle, "Herein, is love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins!" I John, 4:10. Why doth the apostle so magnify this gift in saying, "Herein is love," as if there were love in nothing else? - More

A Display of Christ - Part III (The Covenant of Redemption Between the Father and the Redeemer) - John Flavel
In the fifty-third of Isaiah, the Gospel seems to be epitomized: the subject is the death of Christ, and the glorious issue thereof. By reading it, the eunuch of old, and many Jews since, have been converted to Christ. - More

A Display of Christ - Part II (Christ in His Essential and Primeval Glory) - John Flavel
"Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and was daily His delight, rejoicing always before him." - Prov. 8:30. These words are a part of that excellent commendation of Wisdom, by which in this book Solomon intends two things. - More

A Display of Christ - Part I (The Excellency of the Subject) - John Flavel
THE following verse contains an apology for the plain and familiar manner of the apostle's preaching, which was "not with excellency of speech, or of wisdom:" he studied not to gratify their curiosity with rhetorical strains, or philosophical niceties; for he says, "I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified." - More

The Triple Cure: Jesus Christ - Our Prophet, Priest and King - Kim Riddlebarger
The diagnosis is not very good: we are ignorant, guilty, and corrupt. As a litany of biblical texts reveals, we find ourselves as fallen sinners ravaged by this threefold consequence of our sins. - More

Heaven Came Down: The Mission of Christ - Michael S. Horton
"Heaven came down and glory filled my soul." Many of us recall singing that line from the hymn by the same title. But what do we mean by that? - More

How Could Jesus Be Both Divine and Human? - R. C. Sproul
One of the great crises in evangelical Christianity today is a lack of understanding about the person of Christ. Almost every time I watch Christian television I hear one of the classical creeds of the Christian faith being denied blatantly, unknowingly, unwittingly. - More

The Eternal Sonship of the Lord Jesus Christ - Part IV - J. C. Philpot
As one stronghold of the opponents of the true and proper Sonship of the blessed Lord consists in the various objections, we have felt that it might be desirable to notice those of any importance, and, as far as we can, to remove them out of the way. - More

The Eternal Sonship of the Lord Jesus Christ - Part III - J. C. Philpot
In resuming, then, our subject, we cannot but express our conviction that as we are enabled to read the scriptures of the New Testament with a more enlightened understanding, and to receive them more feelingly into a believing heart, we become more and more forcibly struck with these two leading features in them... - More

The Eternal Sonship of the Lord Jesus Christ - Part II - J. C. Philpot
Here, then, we take our firm stand, that Jesus is the Son of God in His divine nature; and if that divine nature is truly and properly God, as the words necessarily imply, and as such is co-equal and co-eternal with the Father, then He must be the eternal Son of the Father. No sophistry can elude this conclusion. - More

The Eternal Sonship of the Lord Jesus Christ - Part I - J. C. Philpot
We are grieved to see an old error now brought forward and, we fear, spreading. which, however speciously covered up, is really nothing less than denying the Son of God. - More

The Eternal Sonship of the Lord Jesus Christ - Author's Preface - J. C. Philpot
When I was first led to advocate the true, proper and eternal Sonship of our most blessed Lord I little anticipated two consequences which have mainly sprung out of my attempt to set forth truth and to beat down error. - More

The Person Of Christ According To The New Testament - Benjamin B. Warfield
It is the purpose of this article to make as clear as possible the conception of the Person of Christ, in the technical sense of that term, which lies on—or, if we prefer to say so, beneath—the pages of the New Testament. - More

The Historical Christ - Benjamin B. Warfield
The rise of Christianity was a phenomenon of too little apparent significance to attract the attention of the great world. It was only when it had refused to be quenched in the blood of its founder, and, breaking out of the narrow bounds of the obscure province in which it had its origin, was making itself felt in the centers of population, that it drew to itself a somewhat irritated notice. - More

The Glory of the Coming Lord: Discovering Christ in the Old Testament - Edmund P. Clowney
The Spirit of Christ spoke through the Old Testament prophets, promising the grace that has come to us (1 Pt 1:10-12). On Emmaus Road Jesus taught the message of the prophets and apostles: Christ's sufferings and glory (Acts 17:2,3; 1 Pt 1:11; 1 Cor 15:3-5). - More

The Christ That Paul Preached - Benjamin B. Warfield
It is Paul’s custom to expand one or another of the essential elements of the Address of his Epistles as circumstances suggested, and thus to impart to it in each several instance a specific character. The Address of the Epistle to the Romans is the extreme example of this expansion. - More

The Impeccability of Christ - Arthur W. Pink
We are living in a world of sin, and the fearful havoc it has wrought is evident on every side. How refreshing, then, to fix our gaze upon One who is immaculately holy, and who passed through this scene unspoilt by its evil. - More

The End of the Incarnation - Benjamin B. Warfield
A sermon preached in the chapel of Princeton Theological Seminary on October 9, 1892 from the text: For I am come down from heaven, not to do mine own will but the will of Him that sent me; and this is the will of Him that sent me, that of all that He hath given me, I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. John 6:38-39. - More

The Person of Christ - A. A. Hodge
It is the grand distinction of Christianity that all its doctrines and all its forces centre in the Person of its Founder and Teacher. In the case of all the other founders of philosophical sects and religions, the entire interest of their mission centres in the doctrines they teach, the opinions they disseminate. - More

The Life and Power of Divine Truth in Christ - John Owen
Setting aside what we have discoursed and proved before--concerning the laying of the foundation of all the counsels of God in the person of Christ, and the representation of them in the ineffable constitution thereof--I shall give some few instances of this relation of all spiritual truths unto him--manifesting that we cannot learn them, nor know them, but with a due respect thereunto. - More

The Person of Christ - R. A. Finlayson
It is as imperative today as ever to restate the Faith of the Church as it centres on the Person of Jesus Christ her Lord, and the question that still confronts us is the question of the ages: what are we to think of the Person of Christ in terms of deity or humanity or both? - More

Jesus Christ the Son of God - Theodore Beza (1519-1605)
The following article by Theodore Beza was taken from chapter three (sections 16-26) of his book The Christian Faith, translated into english by James Clark (Focus Christian Ministries Trust, East Essex England, 1992). This book was a "best seller" during the Protestant Reformation, and appeared in 1558 under the original title of Confession De Foi Du Chretien. - More

The Divinity of Christ - J. Ligon Duncan
Who is Jesus? Is He divine? Such questions have exercised the minds of thoughtful inquirers for nigh unto two thousand years since Jesus of Nazareth completed his earthly ministry. - More

What Think Ye of Christ? - John A. Witmer
Christianity Is Christ is the title of a handbook by W. H. Griffith Thomas written almost half a century ago on what he called “the central subject of Christianity—the Person and Work of Christ.” - More

The Divine and Human Nature of Christ - Herman Bavinck
The testimony which, according to Scripture, Christ has given of Himself is developed and confirmed by the preaching of the apostles... - More

A Defense of the Doctrine of the Eternal Sonship of Christ - Samual E. Waldron
One place at which the historic doctrine of the Trinity is in danger from rationalism in our day is in a widespread doubt among evangelical teachers as to the doctrine of the eternal generation of the Son and the eternal procession of the Spirit. - More

He Emptied Himself - Thomas Goodwin
It is adorably true indeed that the Eternal Son made Himself of no reputation. Yes; but He did far more than that. He did infinitely far more than that. For our salvation, HE EMPTIED HIMSELF. That is to say, the Eternal Son despoiled and depleted Himself of all His divine power and heavenly glory, and was made flesh, and was made sin, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. - More

The Son Declares the Father - W.E. Best
Jesus Christ claims the incommunicable name-I Am (Ex. 3:14; John 8:58). The name signifies unchangeable essence and everlasting duration. Change is written on everything earthly; Christ is unchangeable (Heb. 13:8), for He is God. The statement, "Before Abraham was, I am" (John 8:58), has no reference to Christ's coming into existence before Abraham. - More

The Eternal Son of God - W.E. Best
The subject of Christ's Eternal Sonship yields in importance to none. If our thoughts on this subject are not God's thoughts, we will not only dishonor the Lord but will bring damnation to our own souls. The thoughts of God expressed in the Scriptures must be understood in their obvious significance. - More

The Nature of the Redeemer's Humanity - J. C. Philpot
Now, the word of truth declares that "God manifest in the flesh" is "the great mystery of godliness" (1 Tim 3:16). Therefore, without an experimental knowledge of this great mystery there can be no godliness in heart, lip, or life. - More

The Resurrection of Christ: A Historical Fact - Benjiman B. Warfield
The Resurrection of Christ is a fact, an external occurrence within the cognizance of men to be established by their testimony. It is the cardinal doctrine of our system: on it all other doctrines hang. - More
