Can it not be tamed? Cannot its
ferocity be removed? Probably it may so far be subdued that it may become
apparently tame; but there will always be a marked distinction between it and the
sheep, because there is a distinction in nature. Now, the reason why man cannot
come to Christ, is not because he cannot come, so far as his body or his mere power
of mind is concerned, but because his nature is so corrupt that he has neither the will
nor the power to come to Christ unless drawn by the Spirit. But let me give you a
better illustration. You see a mother with her babe in her arms. You put a knife into
her hand, and tell her to stab that babe to the heart. She replies, and very truthfully, "I
cannot." Now, so far as her bodily power is concerned, she can, if she pleases; there
is the knife, and there is the child. The child cannot resist, and she has quite sufficient
strength in her hand immediately to stab it to its heart. But she is quite correct when
she says she cannot do it. As a mere act of the mind, it is quite possible she might
think of such a thing as killing the child, and yet she says she cannot think of such a
thing as killing the child; and she does not say falsely, for her nature as a mother
forbids her doing a thing from which her soul revolts. Simply because she is that
child's parent she feels she cannot kill it. #GIVETHANKS #Outreach: That the world may know #Prayer Focus: Pray for Our Prodigals Praise the Lord Please follow my blog Guam Christian Blog Please follow my blog Guam Views Blog Podcast: https://anchor.fm/bruce-dinsman Bruce's Facebook https://www.facebook.com/bruce.dinsman Featured book: https://www.amazon.com/Daily-Service-4-Bruce-Dinsman-ebook/dp/B07W64BCD1
