John Stuart Blackburn (1907-1996) was a gifted Bible teacher and author. Some of his books originally appeared as articles in Scripture Truth magazine, which he edited between 1962 and 1984 and to which he contributed from 1938 until 1989. This new volume brings together a number of related articles which explore the way in which the Old Testament book of Joshua casts light on the themes of the New Testament letter to the Ephesians.
One of the Christian’s first steps is to learn what God in Christ has done for us, and our first prayers include requests for our daily needs. We soon learn the need to pray concerning what God can do through us. But we are slow to learn that much Bible prayer is about what God can do in us. The author encourages us to often pray the prayer in Ephesians 3 — to know the love of Christ, to be filled with all the fulness of God, to possess God’s best.
“To know the love of Christ is the corn and the wine, the milk and honey, the wealth and plenty of the Christian’s Canaan.”
