Set for the Fall and Rising Again of Many - Paul M. Williams

Luke 2:25-35 The great predicament of man, is his pride and rebellion; stubbornness is what keeps Him from serving God—He can have it no other way than his own. Simply put, He refuses to have a God that will meddle with His affairs, and until that man is first broken, he will rise in newness of life.  You know, the Church today has lost sight of the first and only ever presents to man the last.  Come to Christ and see what He will do for you!!  Yet, they do not tell them that entrance into this Kingdom is through a door of brokenness!  "And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder" (Mt. 21:44).  Tell me dear soul, have you known it on this wise?  Do you know what it is to fall on that rock?  May we indeed fall upon that rock that in falling we might rise again in newness of life.
