On Receiving Reproof
Luke 7:40
And Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have somewhat to say to you. And he said, Master, say on.


The word Christ speaks ought to be received with all readiness of spirit. Thus Simon received it, so ought we. Eli desired Samuel to tell him all (1 Samuel 3:17). Such should be the desire of all God's people, that God's ministers would deal faithfully with them in delivering the whole counsel of God unto them — as well one part as another. Wantons, you know, come into a garden to pick only flowers; here they pick a gay, and there another; but the good housewife comes to gather herbs: so should we come into God's house to hear His Word.

(N. Rogers.)
