Can You Handle The Truth? - A Sermon on John 6:63-65
May 4, 2006"It is the Spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing…(John 6:63 KJV).
I like to imagine this word "quickens" like a heartbeat.
Do you know the meaning of "ARRYTHMIA?"
No, she is not the sister of Arithmetic. An "arrhythmia" is a change in the rhythm of your heartbeat. When the heart beats too fast, it's called "tachycardia" and when it beats too slow, it's called bradycardia. An arrhythmia can also mean that your heart beats irregularly (or skips a beat or has an extra beat). To treat this abnormal rhythm and restore the heartbeat to a normal one, doctors sometimes use a short electrical shock. Then when it is restored you can hear the heartbeat back to its beautiful sound of beep beep beep… It quickens life.
And during those times, the patient can do nothing. Yes, likewise, in our text it means simply that…we are dead in sin and we cannot do anything about that, but the Spirit quickens our heartbeat and It gives life.
Please email me if you want the full transcript of the sermon. (sorry. i cannot restore the links) God bless you.
