SINNERS NEED A MIRACLE

 "...when the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto His disciples, How is it that He eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? When JESUS heard it, He saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." ---Gospel of Mark 2:16-17 [KJV] 

If a man is near-sighted, he only needs corrective glasses; but if he is blind, he needs a miracle only God can give– SIGHT! If a man is sick, he only needs medicinal aid; but if he is dead, he needs a miracle only God can give– LIFE! If a man has a weak heart, perhaps changing his diet and habits will improve his condition; but if he has a stony heart, a deceitful, desperately wicked heart, he needs this miracle-"a NEW HEART also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh" (Ezekiel 36:26-27).

Knowing these things to be true and knowing the desperate, depraved condition in which Adam's fall has plunged all mankind, I believe, preach, and insist upon one solemn certain fact– "SALVATION IS OF THE LORD." Let every son of Adam who reads these words come (like the leper in Matthew ch. 8) to Christ and worship Him, saying, "LORD, IF THOU WILT, THOU CANST MAKE ME WHOLE" – AND HE WILL!
