Moody's Anecdotes And Illustrations: Related in his Revival Work by the Great Evangelist
Moody, Dwight Lyman
Christian life -- Fiction; Homiletical illustrations
-- If you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ you are free.
-- There is no sin in the whole catalogue of sins you can name but
Christ will deliver you from it perfectly.
-- We are led on by an unseen power that we have not got strength to
resist, or else we are led on by the loving Son of God.
-- The trouble is, people do not know that Christ is a Deliverer. They
forget that the Son of God came to keep them from sin as well as to
forgive it.
-- You say "I am afraid I cannot hold out." Well, Christ will hold out
for you. There is no mountain that He will not climb with you if you
will; He will deliver you from your besetting sin.
-- Satan rules all men that are in his kingdom. Some he rules through
lust. Some he rules through covetousness. Some he rules through
appetite. Some he rules by their temper, but he rules them. And none
will ever seek to be delivered until they get their eyes open and see
that they have been taken captive.
-- When Christ was on the earth there was a woman in the temple who was
bowed almost to the ground with sin. Satan had bound her for eighteen
years; but after all these years of bondage Christ delivered her. He
spoke one word and she was free. She got up and walked home. How
astonished those at home must have been to see her walking in.
LITTLE FOLKS.
The Little Child and the Big Book.
I like to think of Christ as a burden bearer. A minister was one day
moving his library up stairs. As the minister was going up stairs with
his load of books his little boy came in and was very anxious to help
his father. So his father just told him to go and get an armful and take
them up stairs. When the father came back he met the little fellow about
half way up the stairs tugging away with the biggest in the library. He
couldn't manage to carry it up. The book was too big. So he sat down and
cried. His father found him, and just took him in his arms, book and
all, and carried him up stairs. So Christ will carry you and all your
burdens.
