BONUS: “But, Who Are You?”
Written by David E. Smith
Recently, I gave a Sunday morning exhortation at my church and since we captured the audio, I thought we could post it as a special addition for those who may be interested.
In this 26 minute exhortation, we examine Acts 19 and Matthew 7.
In Acts 19, we find a demon posses man asking some Jewish exorcists, saying “I recognize Jesus, and I know of Paul, but who are you?”
Whoa! My first thought: this evil spirit isn’t afraid to mock and even scoff at the exorcists. The evil spirit was not intimidated.
In Matthew 7, Jesus warns listeners that he will tell many people on the last day “I never knew you; leave Me, you who practice lawlessness.”
As we begin a New Year, what can we learn from the juxtaposition of these two passages?
So, without further delay, here is the exhortation.
