Subject: It is the Power of God |
Bible Note: "A martyr is going to the stake; the men with their axes are around him; the crowds are mocking, but he is marching steadily on. See, they tie him, with a chain around his waist, to the stake; they heap sticks and twigs all around him; the flame is lighted; listen to his words: 'Bless the Lord O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name.' "The flames are burning around his legs; the fire is burning him even to the bone; see him lift up his hands and say, 'I know that my redeemer lives, and though the fire devour this body, yet in my flesh I will see the Lord.' Look at him clutch the stake and kiss it, as if he loved it, and hear him say, 'For every chain of iron that man tied me with, God will give to me a chain of gold; for all these sticks and twigs, and this disgrace and shame, He will increase the weight of my eternal glory.' "See all the lower parts of his body are consumed; still he lives in the torture; finally he bows himself, and the upper part of his body falls over; and as he falls you hear him say, 'Into Your hands I commend my spirit.' Sir, what wondrous magic was on him? What made that man strong? What helped him to bear that cruelty? What made him stand unmoved in the flames? It was the thing of power; it was the cross of Jesus crucified. For 'unto us who are saved it is the power of God.'" --Charles H. Spurgeon |
