“ heartwarming sermon ”
Brother macaskill looks at this portion of scripture from various aspects, all practically challenging,but encouraging to the saints, and extremely Christ centred, which is a joy to the soul, as one listens!He starts off by showing, how,humanly speaking, Paul could be downcast or weakened in prison, awaiting death,but that he is actually strengenthed in that situation, and how often we too wonder how we could cope in similar situations. (For myself, i have wondered how i would cope with say, facing torture at the hands of the inquisition, or how i would cope being tied to the stake at Smithfield to be burnt to death, or even to follow Christ literally in being crucified as some of the saints were in times past.)Well, my Saviour has promised to give grace sufficient when the time arises, even though the natural man recoils at such thoughts.Thankyou once again dear brother for such a lovely sermon. |
