glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jesus Christ is the only way of life "If believing in Jesus Christ is the only way of life, then Jesus Christ should be the main scope and mark of all our preaching and studying. I Corinthians 2:2: "I determined not to know any thing among you save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified." It was the main theme and subject upon which that blessed apostle spent himself. Look, as it is with a physician who, though he sometimes lances, and sometimes makes very sick, and sometimes restrains to strictness of diet, and sometimes binds and troubles the patient, and sometimes relieves him with precious cordials; though these actions are different among themselves, yet they center in one end, which is health and life. So whether ministers preach the knowledge of sin, or whether they strive to make men sensible of sin, or whether they let fly the arrows of God's threats upon the conscience of sinners, or whether they touch on the mercy seat-all the end and scope is, or should be, to bring men to Christ, to make Christ more glorious in the eyes of sinners, and to incline their hearts to accept and embrace Him. Christ may be preaches two ways. 12:56 p.m. - 2023-11-13 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
