A Message from God
J. Cumming, D. D. Judges 3:12-30 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel… I. IT IS A MESSAGE OF TRUTH. II. IT IS A MESSAGE OF LOVE. III. IT IS A MESSAGE OF PEACE. IV. IT IS A MESSAGE OF RECONCILIATION. V. IT IS NEEDED BY THEE. This alone is the message humanity needs; it alone meets the breadth and depth and multitude of its necessities. The light of nature is Cimmerian darkness. It reveals your danger, but reveals no means of rescue. VI. IT IS SUITED TO THEE. 1. It is suited to your ignorance, "making wise unto salvation." 2. It is suited to man's sin, expiating its guilt by the blood of the Cross, 3. It is suited to man's misery. VII. IT IS SUFFICIENT FOR THEE. No want is there in our being which it cannot fill — no multitude it cannot minister to. VIII. IT IS SENT TO THEE. (J. Cumming, D. D.)
