“The Preacher Was Right!”

 

That’s what a fellow said to his friends about the topic of conversion.

After he and his comrades had discussed the matter thoroughly,

Arriving at the unanimous conclusion, he was heard to remark, “Well,

I guess the preacher was right after all.”  He acted a little surprised!

Noah, “a preacher of righteousness”.”  (II Peter 2:5), was right when

he said, “A flood is coming.”

Moses and Aaron were right when they told Pharaoh of the impending

Plagues on Egypt. (Exodus 7-12)

Samuel was right when he told Saul he was being terminated as king of

Israel because of his disobedience. (I Samuel 15:26)

Nathan was right when he told King David, “You are the man!” (II Samuel 12:7)

“The Preacher” (Ecclesiastes 1:1), was right when he concluded all as vanity,

except fearing the Lord and keeping His commandments. (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)

Isaiah and Jeremiah were right when they said Jerusalem would be carried to

Babylon. (II Kings 20)

John was right when he told Herod it was not lawful for him to be married to his

brother’s wife. (Matthew 14:4)

Peter was right when he told sinners to repent and be baptized in the name of Christ for

remission of their sins. (Acts 2:38)

Paul was right when he said a new life begins when one is baptized into Christ.

(Romans 6:3-4)

Jesus was right when he said no one can come to the Father except by Him. (John 14:6)

Today, as before, every preacher is right who preaches the Word (II Timothy 4:2), speaks

As God’s oracles (I Peter 4:11), and declares all the counsel of God (Acts 20:27). Every

Preacher is wrong who preaches anything else! (Galatians 1:6-9)

Wouldn’t it be so sad to hear yourself saying in the day of Judgment, “Oh, no! The

Preacher was right after all!”
