Before God the Judge With the Perfected – Hebrews 12:22-24
This access unto God by Jesus Christ is often mentioned in the Scripture as an eminent privilege. Without him they are afar off from God, placed at an infinite distance from him, by their own sin and the curse of the law; figured by the people’s removal and standing afar off at the giving of the law, Exod. 20:18, 19. Neither was there any way to make an approach unto him; signified by the severe interdict against the touching of […]
Antiquarian Theology: Lessons From the Church History – Part 11
From the earliest times we have seen Christian men and women who have been heroic in the keeping of the faith. And I’m afraid that in our day we have lost our sense of history, and we don’t recall these titans of faith who have gone before us whose blood has drenched the earth, and who are examples for those of us today to keep the faith. – R.C. Sproul This series of lessons are based off of the Historical […]
Isaiah 11
Among all the prophets Isaiah justly holds the chief place, because he gives very clear testimonies concerning Christ, and places before our eyes the state and condition of his Church, that is, of his kingdom, as the reading will alone clearly shew, so that it will be unnecessary for me to make a long preface. He who shall have understood him well will be abundantly prepared for reading the other Prophets. – John Calvin
Walking Among Angels and Just Men – Hebrews 12:22-24
The church is the safest society in the world.—A kingdom it is, a city, a family, a house, which the power of hell and the world can never prevail against. Nor are these boasting words, in whatever distressed condition it may be in this world, but the faithful sayings of God. Our Lord Jesus Christ, the head of this society, when he was entering into his sufferings, to manifest that he did it by his own will and choice, and […]
Isaiah 10:20-34
Among all the prophets Isaiah justly holds the chief place, because he gives very clear testimonies concerning Christ, and places before our eyes the state and condition of his Church, that is, of his kingdom, as the reading will alone clearly shew, so that it will be unnecessary for me to make a long preface. He who shall have understood him well will be abundantly prepared for reading the other Prophets. – John Calvin
The Spiritual City of the New Covenant – Hebrews 12:22-24
This is the first privilege of believers under the gospel. They “come unto mount Sion;” that is, they are interested in all the promises of God made unto Sion, recorded in the Scripture, in all the love and care of God expressed towards it, in all the spiritual glories assigned unto it. The things spoken of it were never accomplished in the earthly Sion, but only typically; spiritually, and in their reality, they belong unto believers under the new testament. […]

Isaiah 10:1-19
Among all the prophets Isaiah justly holds the chief place, because he gives very clear testimonies concerning Christ, and places before our eyes the state and condition of his Church, that is, of his kingdom, as the reading will alone clearly shew, so that it will be unnecessary for me to make a long preface.

We’re Marching To Zion – Hebrews 12:22-24
We have here a blessed, yea, a glorious description of the catholic church, as the nature and communion of it are revealed under the gospel. And such a description it is as which, if it were attended unto and believed, would not only silence all the contentious wrangling that the world is filled withal about that name and thing, but cast out also other prejudicate conceptions and opinions innumerable, which divide all Christians, fill them with mutual animosities, and ruin […]
