JESUS CHRIST, OUR SAVIOR
D.M. Stearns was preaching in Philadelphia. At the close of the service a stranger came up
to him and said, “I don't like the way you spoke about the cross. I think that instead of emphasizing the death
of Christ, it would be far better to preach Jesus, the teacher and example.”
Stearns replied, “If I presented Christ in that way,
would you be willing to follow Him?” “I
certainly would,” said the stranger without hesitation. “All right then,” said the preacher, “let's
take the first step. He did no sin. Can you claim that for yourself?” The man looked confused and somewhat
surprised. “Why, no,” he said. “I acknowledge that I do sin.” Stearns replied, “Then your greatest need is
to have a Savior, not an example!”
Daily we stand in need of His grace, mercy and love –
the miraculous portals of our eternal salvation. Hallelujah, what a Savior!
Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and
please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING.
Maranatha!
