TRUTH FOR TODAY

Glenn E. Hawkins, Evangelist

SENSATIONALISTS  [4]

          So many are missing Christ because they are expecting religion to be dramatic.  They are looking for a “sign”, which Jesus said was the mark of an evil and adulterous generation (Matthew 12:39).  Such need to hear the statement of Abraham to the rich man in Hades: “If they heed not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rise from the dead” (Luke 16:31).  Salvation is not sensational.  Faith is not all emotion.  You can sit in its very shadow as did the soldiers and still miss the meaning.  [Thanks to Harry Gipson for these thoughts.]
