American Homiletic Review Galatians 6:17 From now on let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. I. THE WORD-PICTURE HERE PRESENTED. 1. The figure, "slave brands." 2. The facts (1 Corinthians 4:9, 15; 2 Corinthians 11:23, 30). 3. The challenge. II. THE SUGGESTION THE PICTURE MAKES. 1. He who follows the Lord Jesus must expect that some will try to "trouble" him. 2. He whose "marks" are most conspicuous will be troubled the least. 3. He who has "marks" may take comfort in knowing how much his Master paid for him. 4. He who is owned may remember that his Master owns and recognizes the "marks" also. 5. He that has no "marks" is either a better or a poorer Christian than St. Paul. 6. Satan outwits himself when he gives a believer more "marks." 7. A sure day is coming when the "marks" will be honourable. (American Homiletic Review.) Parallel Verses KJV: From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. |
