Your Own Picture There

James 1:22-25; John 3:7; John 4
The Bible is like an album. I go into a man’s house, and while waiting for him, I take up an album and open it. I look at a picture. “Why, that looks like a man I know.” I turn over and look at another. “Well, I know that man.” I keep turning over the leaves. “Well, there is a man who lives in the same street as myself — he is my next-door neighbor.” And then I come upon another, and see myself.
My friends, if you read your Bibles you will find your own pictures there. It just describes you. You may be a Pharisee; if so, turn to the third chapter of John, and see what Christ said to the Pharisee: “Except a man be born again he cannot enter the kingdom of God.”
But you may say: “I am not a Pharisee; I am a poor, miserable sinner, too bad to come to Him.” Well, turn to the woman of Samaria, and see what Christ said to her.
