FROM THE INTRODUCTION BY TRANSLATOR GEOFFREY W. BROMILEY: Helmut Thielicke "has a vivid awareness of the actual needs of actual people living in this age of supreme storm and stress. He sees how the biblical message, how Jesus Christ Himself as the living message, answers powerfully and sufficiently to these needs. He appreciates that faith in Him is not an easy thing, and yet that true faith carries us to victory even in doubt, anxiety, distress and the terrors of conflict and destruction. He attains almost an apocalyptic stature in his depiction of our shattered world and in his proclamation of the message of God's salvation and judgements within it. Here are sermons to put into the hands of contemporaries who suffer from the fears and anxieties which Thielicke so graphically describes but who do not yet perceive the true meaning and relevance of what God did for man in the giving of His only Son. Here are sermons from which to learn how the old Gospel, first given in a very different world, may come with all the living comfort and the regenerative force of truth and reality to our own age too, made relevant by the Holy Spirit on the lips of the sensitive and dedicated preacher."

Jesus Christ came to us to suffer temptation, to suffer our fate with regard to God, and to become our brother. Let us go to him in the desert to see what he had to endure, and how he had to fight, so as thus to become our brother. Here we shall learn who we are and how it stands with this our world.... The desert is our world; the tempter is our tempter; the forty days and nights are our time, and we are Jesus, for here he stands in our stead. Who are we then, O God, who are we?

Between God and Satan: The Temptation of Jesus and the Temptability of Man

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION: What is the purpose of my life? This is the one question to which so many are longing to find the answer. When we turn to the Bible we find a clear and simple answer to this fundamental question: the purpose of life is to know, and to love, and to walk with God-that is, to see God. The remarkable central reality of Christianity is that God has made himself known in such a way that he is understandable, accessible, and desirable to the simplest and most fearful of us. He has done so in his Son, through whom he made the world and who, having humbled himself to take on our flesh and blood to redeem us from sin and death, has sat down at the right hand of his Father. That Son is Jesus. Nowhere else can we fully see God but in the face of Jesus Christ. The theme of We Would See Jesus is-JESUS. He has come to take us out of slavery to sin and self and to set us free to serve Him in the freshness and spontaneity of the Spirit. Here Roy and Revel Hession show us that, if seeing God is life's purpose, then seeing Jesus is the answer. CHINESE DESCRIPTION: 我的人生有何意義?千萬人渴望找到这基要問題的答案。翻開聖經,发现答案既清楚又簡單:人生的意義就是要認識神、愛慕神、與神同行--就是要看見神。 基督信仰引人注目的核心现实,在于神彰顯自己,讓最簡單、最容易受怕的人,都能明白祂、接近祂、渴望祂。神透过独生子创造世界,也在独生子身上成就此事。子亦降卑成為血肉之身,拯救人脫離罪惡死亡,現坐在天父右邊。子就是耶穌。 只有在耶穌基督的面上,我們才完全看見神。 《願見耶穌》的主題是「耶穌」。祂來救我們脫離罪惡和自我的捆綁,釋放我們,讓我們能在聖靈的清新和自發中侍奉祂。作者韓萊爾和韓莉芙向我们展示,看見神若是人生的意義,看見耶穌就是人生的答案。

We Would See Jesus: Discovering God's Provision for You in Christ (Simplified Chinese Script Edition) (Chinese Edition)

Hession, Revel

Hession, Roy

In the love David has for Saul we can see a faint but real foreshadowing of the love of Christ for us, even when we were his enemies. Saul was required by God to step down rather than become a better king, and to give way to David. In Not I, But Christ, Hession shows that the way to victory for us also is not in striving to be better people, but in allowing ourselves to be supplanted by Christ our true King. ENDORSEMENTS: "This is devotional writing of a very high quality, and few will read it without feeling both the challenge and the reassurance that flow from it. Roy Hession's own spiritual pilgrimage, with its strong reflection of the blessing of the East Africa revival, could not be better summarized than by his title. He does not ask his reader to go where he had not gone himself, often at much pain and sacrifice, but always issuing in joy; and he does not ask us to offer God anything but the sin from which we ask to be cleansed." Rev. David Winter, pastor, author, former Head of Religious Broadcasting for the BBC. "Roy Hession's work comes to us as a refreshing breeze in the midst of so much arid academic theology and bare biblical exegesis. His method may strike contemporary ears as unusual, but, as he himself says, "It is not the illustration that matters so much as the thing illustrated." And the emphasis is always on the proper thing illustrated: the astounding grace of God to lost and needy people. No one can come away from reading this book without being drawn back again to the well springs of joy found in the love and grace of our Lord Jesus." Rev. Dr. Noel Due, D.Min., pastor, author, visiting lecturer at Adelaide College of Ministries, Australia, and honorary teaching fellow at Highland Theological College, Scotland.

Not I, But Christ: Our Relationship with Jesus in the Story of David

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION: Whatever happened to sin? Have Christians become so preoccupied with the major sins of society that we have lost sight of our need to deal with our own more subtle sins? Jerry Bridges addresses specific "acceptable" sins that we tend to tolerate in our lives-such as jealousy, anger, pride, unthankfulness, and judgmentalism. Jerry writes not from a height of spiritual accomplishment but from the trenches of his own battles with sin. In his admonitions, Jerry offers a message of hope in the profound mercy of the gospel and the transforming grace of God as the means to overcome our subtle sins. "If we are not humbled into repentance by Bridges' diagnosis of things that are wrong with us, then something is indeed wrong with us, and badly so. Read this book-we need to-and be ready for a gentle surgeon's sharp knife." J. I. Packer, professor of theology, Regent College; author of Knowing God; "Jerry Bridges has blessed us with this timely book designed to help us grow in grace and glorify and enjoy God as we ought. I can't think of any partner with whose help I'd rather tackle my own heart sins than Jerry." Ligion Duncan, adjunct professor, Reformed Theological Seminary; senior minister, First Presbyterian Church, Jackson, Mississippi. CHINESE DESCRIPTION: 罪怎么了?基督徒是否太过纠缠于社会上显著的罪,忽略了对付我们自身精炼、微妙的罪?毕哲思指出我们在生命中纵容的「可行的罪」,如嫉妒、愤怒、骄傲、不感恩、论断。毕哲思并非从属灵成就高峰的角度去写此书,而是从他自己与罪搏斗的战壕中写的。毕哲思提供了盼望的讯息,劝戒读者透过福音无比的恩慈、神改造生命的恩典去战胜微妙的罪。 「如果我们不能谦卑地面对毕哲思对罪的剖析,不能悔改,那么,我们是真有问题,确有问题。我们『需要』读此书,预备迎接外科医生温柔锋利的手术刀」巴刻JI Packer,加拿大维真神学院神学科教授,《认识神》Knowing God 的作者; 「毕哲思以此书祝福我们,此书适切地特别帮助我们在恩典中成长,荣耀、享受上帝,这都是我们应该做的。除了毕哲思之外,我再想不出任何人令我情愿与他一起对付我心里的罪。」邓亘J.

Respectable Sins: Confronting the Sins We Tolerate (Traditional Chinese Edition)

In THE GRACE OF TRUTH, John speaks from deep personal experience of Christ and his work, of God's judgment on unbelief and of faith in his promises, and of the Spirit-given character of our common life as the people of God. Here you'll find a rich collection of thoughtful and practical sermons from John's many years in the pulpit, to feed both mind and heart. ENDORSEMENTS:  It's one thing to teach the truth, and something else to proclaim it, not only interpreting Scripture but finding yourself and your hearers interpreted by it.  That is what happens in reading these sermons: one forgets the preacher and hears Christ.  John Webster believes "...that growth in the Christian life is simply growth in seeing that the gospel is true." Reading these sermons, I found myself joining in his joyful "Amen!" to all of the promises that we have in Jesus Christ.  What could be more rewarding than that?"      -Michael Horton, Westminster Seminary California   I used The Grace of Truth for daily devotions and it was superb. Stimulating and refreshing, it takes the reader to the truth about God and about our human condition. Pastoral, cliché-free and accessible, John Webster's book will be returned to often. I commend it strongly.      -Dominic Smart, Gilcomston South Church, Aberdeen, Scotland   John Webster displays a great sense of the power of the English language and and an even greater sense of the reliability of Holy Scripture and the power of the gospel. Together these make compelling and inspiring reading.      -Graeme Goldsworthy, Moore College, Australia   Splendid sermons, and not just as models for aspiring preachers!  Unobtrusive scholarship, meticulous listening to scripture and close observation of the human predicament combine to give us God's word just where we need it.      -Donald Macleod, Free Church of Scotland College   These are sermons of a high order, carefully and constantly attentive to the Biblical text, and alive to the deep realities of human life. The attentive reader will both learn and grow.      -Stephen Holmes, University of St. Andrews, Scotland   John Webster's work is beautifully written, unfailingly encouraging, and throughly Christ-centered. It is pure gospel-aged and distilled out of years of theological reflection and biblical study. Here indeed is a work that lifts our eyes to the heavens, from whence our help still comes.     -Noel Due, Highland Theological College, Scotland, Adelaide College of Ministries, Australia   This superb book provides an invaluable opportunity to engage with the preaching of one of the world's leading contemporary evangelical theologians.  This should prove of immense interest to lay people, clergy, students and academics alike.      -Alan Torrance, University of St. Andrews, Scotland   These collected sermons from John Webster are rich in biblical content, perceptive in their diagnosis of the human condition, Christ-centered in their focus, and filled with hope through the gospel. Read and savor these sermons that you might repent, believe, and persevere to the glory of Christ!      -Steven Roy, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School   It has been said that if all our preachers were theologians and all our theologians were preachers, the church would be in a much healthier condition.  How good then to read these sermons from one of our leading British theologians, testimony to the fact that the only theology worth pursuing arises out of the life of the church.  John demonstrates that the complexity and depth of his understanding of the grace of God in Christ  can be made not only accessible but challenging, stimulating and thrilling.      -A.T.B. McGowan, Inverness East Church of Scotland, University of the Highlands and Islands

Trusting God [Simplified Chinese Script] (Chinese Edition)

因為我們覺得順服神合理。在絕大多數情況下,祂的律法看來合理睿智,即使不想順服,一般會承認這些律法對我們是有益的。但我們所遭遇的狀況往往不可解釋。不公平,不合理,甚至可怕的意外情況出現,我們就感到困惑挫敗。不需要多久,我們就開始懷疑神對我們的關懷,猜疑祂對我們生命的掌控。  堅忍地承載苦難是艱難的,要理解苦難就更困難。若神真的掌權,祂為什麼允許車禍?讓家庭經濟支柱失業?祂怎麼可以許可至親得癌病?容讓孩子死亡?糾結掙扎於祂對我們的關愛,我們問:"神為什麼允許這件事?""我到底做錯了什麼?"  為了加強自己在苦難中對神的信靠,畢哲思開啟了漫長的聖經研究過程,主題是--神的主權。他所學到的改變了他的生命,現在,他和你在《信靠神》這本書中分享的就是這項研究的成果。隨著對神在萬國、大自然、個人生活細節上權柄的探索,你會漸漸承認神慈愛充盈的掌控。隨著對神的漸漸了解,你會發現自己更完全地信靠祂。即使生命創痛。  Because obeying God makes sense to us.

Grappling with His concern for us we ask, "Why is God allowing this?" or "What have I done wrong?"   In an effort to strengthen his own trust in God during a time of adversity, Jerry Bridges began a lengthy Bible study on the topic of God's sovereignty. What he learned changed his life, and he now shares the fruit of that study with you in Trusting God. As you begin to explore the scope of God's power over nations, nature, and the detailed lives of individuals, you'll begin to acknowledge His loving control. And as you come to know Him better, you'll find yourself trusting Him more completely. Even when life hurts.
