Judges 14:1-15:20; Isaiah 34:1-17; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31
And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him. Luke 7:29-30
Often the unconverted will say they are too sinful for God to save. They want to clean up their life before they come to Jesus. Here publicans, who were considered vile and degraded, received the message of repentance. Both the Pharisees who were respectable and outwardly religious and the lawyers—ones who knew the law of Moses, refused the message. Nobody is too sinful that Christ cannot save them. Repent and come to Him today. —K.J.W.
Only trust Him! Only trust Him! Only trust Him now!
He will save you! He will save you! He will save you now! —John Hart Stockton
