WHY WE PREACH CHRIST FOR WHO AND WHAT HE IS
If
you had a friend who was planning to go before the King in his own
dirty, ragged, offensive robe, and you knew that he would be forever
rejected, would you not warn him? Suppose, too, that you knew where
he could secure, absolutely free, a beautiful, spotless robe with
which the King not only would be pleased but one which the King
Himself
had provided. Would you not tell him about it?
This is called "Good News." And which robe would you talk the most about the offensive garment or the beautiful one? I would think that the more he heard about the King's robe and the more he was made aware of its glories, beauties, and perfections, the more he would become aware of the insufficiency and corruption of his own. That which makes Christ Jesus more precious to me and His robe of righteousness more needful is NOT THE PREACHING OF WHAT I AM NOT, BUT THE PREACHING OF WHO AND WHAT HE IS!
