Bible -- Study and teaching
Did you ever notice that the things that men cavil most about are the
very things to which Christ has set His seal? Men say, "You don't
believe in the story of Noah and the flood, do you?" Well, if I give it
up, I must give up the Gospel, I must give up the teachings of Jesus
Christ. Christ believed in the story of Noah, and connected that with His
return to earth. "As the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of
the Son of man be." Men say, "You don't believe in the story of Lot and
Sodom, do you?" Just as much as I believe the teachings of Jesus Christ.
"As it was in the days of Lot . . . . . even thus shall it be in the day
when the Son of man is revealed." Men say, "You don't believe in the
story of Lot's wife, do you?" Christ believed it. "Remember Lot's wife."
"You don't believe the story of Israel looking to a brass serpent for
deliverance, do you?" Christ believed it and connected it with His own
cross. "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must
the Son of man be lifted up: that whosever believeth in Him should not
perish but have eternal life." Men say, "You don't believe the children
of Israel were fed with manna in the desert, do you?" "Our fathers did
eat manna in the desert; . . . Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses
gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true
bread from heaven." Men say, "You don't believe they drank water that
came out of a rock?" Christ believed it and taught it. Men say, "You
don't believe in the story of Elijah being fed by the widow, do you?"
Certainly. Christ said there were many widows in the days of Elijah, but
Elijah was fed by only one widow. Christ referred to it Himself, He set
His seal to it. The Son of God believed it, and, "shall the servant be
above his master?"
