God's Message and its Proclamation

Matthew 10:27

What I tell you in darkness, that speak you in light: and what you hear in the ear, that preach you on the housetops.

I. Here is A PREPARATORY PRIVILEGE FOR ALL CHRISTIANS. "What I tell you in darkness," "and what ye hear in the ear."

1. It is the great privilege of Christians to realize that Christ is still living with and conversing with them; this consciousness fits for service.

2. Feeling the gospel spoken by Christ directly and distinctly to our own soul.

II. HOW THIS PRIVILEGE REALLY DOES BECOME A PREPARATORY PROCESS.

1. If you get your message directly from Christ there will be a personality about it.

2. It will also give us the truth of God in proportion and purity.

3. If you go to Christ for all you preach you will preach with unction.

4. It will enable you to be certain about the truth.

III. Close by trying to fulfil the command To PUBLISH UPON THE HOUSETOPS WHAT THE MASTER HAS SPOKEN TO US IN SECRET.

1. That there is pardon for the greatest guilt.

2. That by faith the ruling power of sin is broken.

3. That faith in Christ can save a man from every sort of fear in life and death. These things have been whispered in my ear.
