Christ Came to Reveal God
Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? Job 11:7.
Christ has revealed God. Let those who desire to know God study the work and teaching of Christ. To those who receive Him and believe on Him, He gives power to become the sons of God. He says, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30)….
Human talent and human conjecture have tried by searching to find out God. Many have trodden this pathway. The highest intellect may tax itself until it is wearied out in conjectures regarding God, but the effort will be fruitless, and the fact will remain that man by searching cannot find out God. This problem has not been given us to solve. All that man needs to know and can know of God has been revealed in the life and character of His Son, the Great Teacher. As we learn more and more of what man is, of what we ourselves are in God’s sight, we shall fear and tremble before Him.
To those who would represent every man as born a king; to those who would make no distinction between the converted and the unconverted; to those who are losing their appreciation of their need of Christ as their Saviour, I would say, “Think of yourselves as you have been during the period of your existence! Would it be pleasant or agreeable for you to contemplate feature after feature of your lifework, in the sight of Him who knows every thought of man, and before whose eyes all man’s doings are as an open book?”
I call upon all who are engaged in the service of God to place themselves fully on Christ’s side. There are dangers on the right hand and on the left. Our greatest danger will come from men who have lifted up their souls unto vanity, who have not heeded the words of warning and reproof sent them by God. As such men choose their own will and way, the tempter, clothed in angel robes, is close beside them, ready to unite his influence with theirs. He opens to them delusions of a most attractive character, which they present to the people of God. Some of those who listen to them will be deceived, and will work in dangerous lines.
The Lord calls. Will men and women hear His voice? He gives the warning. Will they heed it? Will they listen to the last message of mercy to a fallen world? Will they accept Christ’s yoke, and learn from Him His meekness and lowliness?—Letter 240, November 5, 1903. “To Medical Students and Nurses,” written during the pantheism crisis.

Dear Friends,
When I was a teenager, I had wanted to be an archeologist. I, who am allergic to dust, could never pursue that occupation. So I content myself by reading about or watching programs that show artifacts from around the world. Last evening, we were watching a program on the various treasures that have been found in or near Stonehenge. It was interesting to see the various treasures that were unearthed at that famous site.
More important than archeologic discoveries are that discoveries that are available to us in God’s Holy Word! David sang, “The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.” Ps 19:7-11
May we remember to hide God’s Word in our heart each day. (Ps 119:11) May “the word of Christ dwell in [us] richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in [our] hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever [we] do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.” Amen. Col 3:16, 17

Lockdown: Things You Can Do In England’s New Lockdown
The new four-week lockdown has officially started in England. The government has brought the measures in because of the rise in cases of coronavirus and hospital admissions.
However, although lockdown number two is not as strict as the one in spring, it does mean places of worship will have to be closed and only open for prayer.

Giovedi 5 Novembre 2020
Giovanni 7:37-39 – Nell'ultimo giorno, il giorno più solenne della festa, Gesù stando in piedi esclamò: «Se qualcuno ha sete, venga a me e beva. Chi crede in me, come ha detto la Scrittura, fiumi dell'acqua viva sgorgheranno dal suo seno». Disse questo dello Spirito, che dovevano ricevere quelli che avrebbero creduto in lui; lo Spirito, infatti, non era ancora stato dato, perché Gesù non era ancora glorificato.
