Matthew 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said to them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. Come to Him for the cure of your spiritual diseases. I. You HAVE NEED OF HIM. Let necessity drive you to Him. The less you see your need, the more need you have of Him. Some diseases are very common among us. 1. Blindness of the eyes of the mind. 2. Spiritual dumbness. 3. Hardness of heart. 4. Falling evil of backsliding. 5. Pride and self-conceit. 6. Decay of grace. II. CHRIST IS SKILFUL. 1. He knows what will suit your disease. 2. He is successful. Seine diseases are the reproach of medicine; none can baffle Him. III. HE CURES FREELY. 1. Other physicians are enriched by their patients, but He enricheth His making them heirs of glory. 2. He is the only physician. 3. Either you must die or come to film. (Thomas Boston.)
