"WHAT MAN OF YOU, HAVING A HUNDRED SHEEP, IF HE LOSE ONE OF THEM, DOTH NOT LEAVE THE NINETY AND NINE IN THE WILDERNESS AND GO AFTER THAT WHICH IS LOST, UNTIL HE FIND IT" LUKE 15:4
When a shepherd has at last overtaken his poor, wandering sheep, he does not straightway fall to scolding or beating it for having caused him so much toil and trouble. No, but he observes that it is very weary, that it has torn itself among thorns, and cut itself among jagged rocks. He first tenderly sees to its wounds, and then brings it back to the fold in his own arms. Poor trembling sinner, the gospel has been laid upon you. You can no longer run into the paths of sin, grace has made you tremble at the guilt of sin. You are afraid of Jesus, for you know how you have grieved him. You fear that he will scold you severely, and perhaps banish you from his presence. Oh think not so of the Good Shepherd! He is already gazing on your bleeding wounds, and preparing to bind them up. He will soon take compassion on your weakness, and bear you in his arms. Trust to him, poor sinner, just as the poor sheep trusts the shepherd. A man is more precious than a sheep, and Jesus is more tender than the most careful shepherd. To coming sinners he is gentle indeed. Oh, if you knew the Saviour, you would not delay. Now, poor heavy-laden sinner, trust the Lord Jesus, and live. He will deal as generously with you as He has done with others, Whether you will trust him or not- I WILL AND I DO. Poor sinner, may the Holy Spirit lead thee to the rock that is higher than I.
Thank you for visiting my website. I created this website to promote the gospel of Jesus Christ. Hopefully this website will reach one lost soul that doesn't know Jesus Christ as their personal savior. On my Sermons page is myself and many of the brethren God has blessed me to preach with over the years.
Please take a few minutes to view my guestbook and leave a comment. Come back as often as you can. I will try to add new sermons weekly. Please keep me in your prayers and may God
Bless you in all you do.
