Preaching Christ

Here's a great quote from T. David Gordon on the importance of preaching Christ...

"Preach Christ, and you will have morality. Fill the sails of your hearers' souls with the wind of confidence in their Redeemer, and they will trust him as their Sanctifier, and long to see his fruit in their lives. Fill their minds and imaginations with a vision of the loveliness and perfection of Christ in his person, and the flock will long to be like him. Impress upon their weak and wavering hearts the utter competence of the mediation of the One who ever lives to make intercession for them, and they will long to serve and comfort others, even as Christ has served and comforted them."

We truly need men who will preach the gospel of Jesus Christ Lord's Day to Lord's Day without any apology for doing so. That is where the believer finds true comfort.

G-pa

Oh, and not just spoken on the Lord's Day, but every day of the week.
