The Wily Watchers of the Good
Luke 6:7
And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.


I. THEY ARE EVER ON THE OUTLOOK FOB AN APPARENT BREACH OF SOME CONVENTIONAL LAW.

1. These men are cunning.

2. They are diligent.

3. They are malicious.

II. THEIR GREAT DESIRE IS TO SLANDER THOSE WHOM THEY WATCH.

III. THEY ARE NOT TO BE ALLOWED TO INTERRUPT THE DUTY OF THE GOOD. Lessons:

1. Never be set by Satan to watch the conduct of the good to find defects.

2. Seek to find all the good in men you can.

3. Think of the heavenly watchers of the good.

(J. S. Exell, M. A.)
