The Highway Forums Announcements What's New on The Highway website? "The Ruler of the Waves" by J.C. Ryle

IT would be well if professing Christians in modern days studied the four Gospels more than they do. No doubt all Scripture is profitable. It is not wise to exalt one part of the Bible at the expense of another. But I think it should be good for some who are very familiar with the Epistles, if they knew a little more about Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Now why do I say this? I say it because I want professing Christians to know more about Christ. It is well to be acquainted with all the doctrines and principles of Christianity. It is better to be acquainted with Christ Himself. It is well to be familiar with faith, and grace, and justification, and sanctification. They are all matters “pertaining to the King.” But it is far better to be familiar with Jesus Himself, to see the King’s own face, and to behold His beauty. This is one secret of eminent holiness. He that would be conformed to Christ’s image, and become a Christ-like man, must be constantly studying Christ Himself.

This month's Article of the Month focuses upon the person of the Lord Jesus Christ in all His divinity and His full humanity. By examining the person of the Incarnate Christ, one can better understand the wonder of grace, secure encouragement, strength, comfort and wisdom, all of which are surely needed in this life.
