NEW SERMON ILLUSTRATIONS
Poem★★★★Christ was a home missionary in the house of Laza- rus. Christ was a foreign missionary when the Greeks came to Him. Christ was a city missionary when He taught in Samaria. Christ was a Sunday-school missionary when He opened up the Scriptures and set men to studying the Word of God. Christ was a children’s missionary when He took them in His arms and blessed them. Christ was a missionary to the poor when He opened the eyes of the blind beggar. Christ was a missionary to the rich when He opened the spiritual eyes of Zaccheus. Even on the cross Christ was a missionary to the robber, and His last command was a missionary commission.
The point
