The Microscope of God’s Word
IllustrationAnalogy★★★★A man who would rather have his family drink water from a nearby polluted well, instead of going to a clean spring farther off, was, through a microscope, shown the germs in the well water. Not liking the looks of the germs wiggling in the water, he took a large stick and broke the microscope, and continued to drink the well water. The word of God is like that microscope.
The point
A man destroyed the microscope that revealed germs in his water rather than change his ways, just as people reject the truth God's Word exposes in their lives.
