SERMON ON SENSE

Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who do see may become blind.”

This book is full of movers and shakers who had sense, motivation, made decisions, had opinions, were sound in their beliefs. They listened and obeyed, not just heard. They envisioned, not just saw. They felt people’s pain, not just gave condolences. Moses, David, Paul- all men who experienced the awe and the wonder of a relationship with God.

We are called to this life to be the light in a dark world. The Book of John says, “Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil.”

Why does wickedness and perversion rage in men's hearts? In the 20th Century, during rumors of nuclear warfare, Einstein said, “Science has brought forth this danger, but the real problem is in the minds and hearts of men.”

Throughout the life of Jesus, He continually cried about the sin nature of man. In Matthew 17:17, he said, “O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you?" Deuteronomy thirty-two, eight said, “They are a nation without discernment; there is no sense in them."
