SERMON NOTES:

Paul Washer:

“The gospel does not call us to receive Christ as an addition to our life, but as our life.”

Derek Kidner:

“Each sentence of the three-fold reply is a pinnacle of Old Testament and New Testament faith. To leave all the righting of wrongs to God, to see God’s providential hand in man’s malice and to repay evil not only with forgiveness but with practical affection; these are attributes which anticipate Christ-likeness.”

1.  OUR 

William Cowper:

“Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take the clouds ye so much dread; they’re big with mercy and will break in blessings on your head.”

Matthew 6:25-27

2.  GOD’S 

A.J. Cronin:

“We cannot measure Divine Providence by the yardstick of human mentality.”

3.  ON GOD’S 

Genesis 50:21

Charles Spurgeon:

“Providence! Thou never stoppest; thy mighty wheels never stay their everlasting circles. As the blue ocean has rolled on impetuously for ages, so shall Providence, until he who first set it in motion shall bid it stop; and then its wheels shall cease, forever fixed by the eternal decree of the mighty God.”
