May 7th, 2010 by Pastor SolleyMatt 12:13-15
13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
15 But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
How much and how little things have changed in our day. Jesus still has the power to heal all, still has the power to do all things. The unsaved of our day, including many religious leaders still take council against Jesus. Nothing has changed in those areas, Jesus Christ is the answer to every one of your needs, physical, financial, spiritual, mental, Jesus is the answer. And how many today take council against Him? Perhaps not as openly as the Pharisees did but they still take council against Jesus. They take away from his Word, move away from sound doctrine, tell you there is no longer a need to go to church and on and on we go. Not much has changed. Yet a great deal has changed as well. Where are the multitudes that followed Him? That has changed today. The believer in Jesus Christ has always been in the minority but much more so today. So few will follow Him, so few will give their lives to Him, so few will leave for Him today, Little has changed and yet much has changed.
