The just God delivers his people by justice. We see in Ezekiel 35 how Edom, the implacable foe that threatens the return of God's people to the Land, is to be dealt with by God's justice. And in that we see a picture of God's justice delivering his people in the present age and at the Second Coming of Christ.…

Christian faith is the antidote to anxiety. On the eve of the Crucifixion Christ reassures his disciples that in a world of perplexity, he is our peace. We see his promise, the Paraclete, and the Peace of God in Christ.Oleh Gervase Charmley

Why do Creeds and Confessions exist, and why do many churches hold to one? In this appendix to the series on the 1689 Confession we see why Confessions exist, and how they are supposed to function in the church, local as well as universal.Oleh Gervase Charmley

Jesus Christ, great David's Greater Son, is the Good Shepherd of his flock. He fulfils the Father's promises. We see in Ezekiel 34 the bad pastors, who explot the flock; God's promise of a Good Shepherd himself God; and the peace of God in the New Covenant.Oleh Gervase Charmley

Christ's love, which is the love of God, is seen supremely in the Cross. In John 13 we see the shadow of the cross in the washing of the disciples' feet, in the betrayal of Judas, and in the New Commandment of love.Oleh Gervase Charmley

The final chapter of the 1689 Confession deals with the Last Judgment, What does the Bible teach about it, and what are the implications for how we live? What is the relevance of this teaching? How does it affect Christians?Oleh Gervase Charmley

Christ is the Light of the World. That Light reveals things both good and bad. We see in John 12:37-50 the Purpose of God, the Peril of hesitating, and the Person in whom stands eternal life.Oleh Gervase Charmley

The Church has a prophetic calling; not to declare new words, but to proclaim God's Word that he has given, to be a watchman in each generation. In Ezekiel 33 we see the prophetic calling, the promise of God's grace and power, and the perils of shallow theology and superficial popularityOleh Gervase Charmley

Chapter 31 of the 1689 Confession deals with the state of people after death, and with the final resurrection of the dead. On the way it addresses false doctrines like soul-sleep and purgatory. What is it to die, and what is the end of death?Oleh Gervase Charmley

What sort of King is Jesus? We see in John 12:12-36 the Triumph of the King by his death and suffering; the turmoil of the King as he contemplates the way of the Cross, and the Time of the King who came to be exalted on the cross to save his people.Oleh Gervase Charmley

What is the Lord's Supper, how should we observe it, and who should and should not partake? These are the questions considered in Chapter 30 of the 1689 Confession.Oleh Gervase Charmley

The shadow of the cross grows deeper, and Mary anoints the Lord for burial in an act of extravagant devotion, responding to his love. We see in John 12:1-11 the devotion of Mary, the deception of Judas, and the determination of Christ.Oleh Gervase Charmley

God is over history; the rise and fall of nations and the shape of that map are in his hands. In Ezekiel 31 God reminds Egypt of Assyria, and the lesson of the fall of that empire. We see the pride of nations, the punishment of nations, and the prospect of history.Oleh Gervase Charmley

Chapter 29 of the 1689 Baptist Confession is about baptism, and shows both the agreements and disagreements of Particular Baptists and Presbyterians. The "waters that divide" do not in fact divide so far as some think! The 1689 Baptists display a gracious catholicity so often missed in debate on the topic.…

God is just and has appointed a day on which he will judge the world. We see in Ezekiel 30 a foreshadowing of that Day in the judgement on Egypt. We see the Day of God, the Doom of nations, and the Downfall of all who stand against God and love evil.Oleh Gervase Charmley

We see in John 11:45-57 the supreme example of John's use of irony, as he records the cynical Caiaphas wholly unconsciously prophesying the substitutionary death of the Lord Jesus Christ. We see also how Christ divides people, as some believe, and others reject.Oleh Gervase Charmley

Christ has given his Church two ordinances. What are they, and how are they to be administered? Chapter 29 of the 1689 Confession deals with the character of these ordinances, and their proper administration.Oleh Gervase Charmley

God's providence is over history; what is its goal? Providence shows us who God is, and will at last draw from everyone the confession that he is Lord. We see in Ezekiel 29 that providence manifested in the history of Egypt, and most of all in the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.Oleh Gervase Charmley

"I am the Resurrection and the Life;" we often read these words at Christian funerals. What does Christ say of the death of his people? We see in John 11:1-44 the Purposes of Christ, the Promise of Christ, and the Power of Christ in the face of death.Oleh Gervase Charmley

The phrase "the Communion of Saints" can sound strange to us today, but it is a term used to refer to a Biblical teaching. Chapter 27 of the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession first defines that communion, and then explains its practical outworking. It begins with the union of believers with Christ, and therefore with each other in the Spirit.…

What is the end of judgement? It is the glory of God, both in the punishment of sin and the salvation by grace of God's people. We see this in Ezekiel 28, which begins with the pride of Tyre, goes on to the perdition of sin, and ends with the peace of God's people.Oleh Gervase Charmley

The aim of the Gospels is to show us who Jesus is. Challenged insincerely by his foes, Jesus points us to his words and works, which show he is the Saviour, the Good Shepherd of his sheep, and the eternal Son of God.Oleh Gervase Charmley

The universal church is made manifest in the local church. How is this? What is a local church? And how do local churches relate to one another? The second part of Chapter 26 of the 1689 Second London Baptist Confession deals with these questions, and more.Oleh Gervase Charmley
