Andrew Murray on The New Life: Words of God for Young Disciples Text
Ge 27:34 And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding
bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.
Isa 58:5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down
his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast,
and an acceptable day to the LORD?
Isa 58:6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the
heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Joh 6:26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because
ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
Jas 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
Just on this account they do not come to the true rest of salvation. They do not understand that to save
is to free from sin. Let us hold it fast. Jesus saves through taking away sin. Then we shall learn two
things. The first is to come to Jesus with every sin. (Ps. 32:5; Luke 7:38; 19:7,8,10; John 8:11; 1 John
3:5)
Ps 32:5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess
my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
Lu 7:38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and
did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the
ointment.
Lu 19:7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a
man that is a sinner.
Lu 19:8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I
give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him
fourfold.
Lu 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Joh 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and
sin no more.
1 Joh 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
The sin that still attacks and overmasters you, after that you have given yourself over to the Lord,
must not make you lose heart. There must also be no endeavour merely in your own strength to take
away and overcome sin. Bring every sin to Jesus. He has been ordained by God to take away sin. He
has already brought it to nought upon the cross, and broken its power. (Heb. 9:26)
Heb 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once
in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
