Jane Aubry - I remember one day in the 1970's playing my guitar, looking up to heaven, and saying, “If there is a God, I want to know Him.” When I met Roger, my husband to be, he told me he was “saved”. I had never heard the word before. I had thought we could only “hope” to go to heaven. He told me how he was saved and that was the end of talking about it for a time. more...
Memory Verse: James 1:21 Memory Verse Text: Receive with meekness the engrafted Word, which is able to save your souls.
Point 1: Here the sinner is pictured as one who does not hear. "Hear and your soul shall live". Not only so, but he cannot speak rightly - another picture of the sinner who cannot give God the glory He deserves. Point 2: He takes him aside. All alone with the Lord. He speaks a word - not unlike the words at creation "light be" here it is "open be" - the same results -omnipotent power knows no obstacle! Point 3: He spake plain. What a picture of the sinner when he tells of the work of grace God has done in his soul. Once like Naaman, he thinks, but now he knows! Point 4: The conclusion that the largely gentile (around the Sea of Galilee) multitude come to is the truth, "He has done all things well!" What has he done for you? Have you ever talked as plain as this man? Have you an ear to hear His voice?
