SUNFLOWER

“On hearing this, Jesus said to them, ‘It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to  call the righteous, but sinners.'” – Mark 2:17

This morning I came again across the answer to a most important question, actually for me one of the most important questions. I have asked that question for a long time and I am asking that question again and again.

It is my custom to read the devotional treasury by C. H. Spurgeon called MORNING AND EVENING. This morning I am reading again, “Why is it that some Christians, although they hear many sermons make such slow advances in the divine life?”

What is the answer? C. H. Spurgeon answers his own question: “Because they neglect their times of prayer, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God’s Word.”

Do I neglect my time of prayer and do I not thoughtfully meditate on God’s Word? That are the two questions I am asking myself. And why do I ask the two questions? Because I want to make progress in my spiritual life.

THE CROSS

“However,

First Corinthians 2:9

Intr.:

as it is written:

1. ‘No eye has seen,
2. no ear has heard,
3. no mind has conceived

End:

what God has prepared for those who love him’ – but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.”

“Let us lift up our hearts and our hands to God in heaven, and say: ‘We have sinned and rebelled and you have not forgiven.'” – Lamentations 41,42
