The Plague of His Own Heart
THE PLAGUE OF HIS OWN HEART
I KINGS 8:38
When a child of God begins to speak of the “plague of his own heart,” this poor blind and religious world does not understand. They think within themselves, “What on earth is this man doing?” What ever it is he ought to stop it.” But little do they know, it’s not what he’s doing, but what he feels himself to be. He is sin. He has an open wound that is always running and stinking. This wound is his heart, his nature, who he is, in and of himself. This heart is an incurable plague. Not even the Lord God can cure it.
Yet this is the only people who are accepted of God in Jesus Christ. Those who know the plague of their own heart are the only ones God acquits of all charges. These are the only ones who truly rejoice in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in their stinking flesh. It’s knowing the plague of their own heart that makes them to know their need of a new heart and imputed righteousness and to rejoice with exceeding great joy to believe that God has been pleased to freely give them what they need, all for the mere sake of His Dear Son. So while they cast contempt upon themselves, they rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
