*THE ULTIMATE ICON*

📜📜```TEXT:LUKE 7:19-30```📜📜

🔑📖```KEY VERSE:``` _*"Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached" (LUKE 7:22).*_

*Every age produces its heroes and celebrities in politics, sports, arts, science, etc. It is instructive however that the greatness of these men and women has limitation in time and scope.*

*John the Baptist in our text sent two of his disciples to inquire from Jesus if He was the expected One or there was yet another to come. John was the forerunner of Jesus and had begun the ministry of reconciliation of the Jewish nation to God through his preaching on repentance and baptism. Jesus' reply to John was clear testimonies of deliverance of people from satanic bo***ge and the preaching of the gospel to all and sundry.*

*Yes, Jesus is the expected One and there is no other to come. He is the Son of God and Messiah of the world. His greatness has been unsurpassed and remains unsurpassable. His creative ability dwarfs the most spectacular scientific breakthroughs. His conquering power is incomparable; His healing capability pales into insignificance the ability of the greatest physicians. He is the greatest Teacher that ever lived. His influence on everyone, regardless of social status, that comes in contact with Him, is life-transforming. He is the King of kings, the Lord of lords.*

*The question is, have you met Him? If you have not, do not harden your heart; come under His authority through repentance and faith in His atoning blood. If you do, your life will have meaning and your eternity in heaven will be sure.*

*GRIEVING FOR SINNERS*

📜TEXT:EZRA 10:6-8📜

6 Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away.

7 And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;

8 And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.

🔑📖```KEY VERSE:``` _*"Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away" (EZRA 10:6).*_

A preacher once said, "I do not come into this pulpit hoping that perhaps somebody will of his own free will return to Christ. My hope lies in another quarter. I hope that my Master will lay hold of some of you and say you are mine, I claim you for myself. My hope arises from the freeness of grace and not from the freedom of will".

The children of Judah, while in exile and captivity, had mixed with the people of the land. They had intermarried and copied their customs, contrary to God's commandment. Many of them, including the nobles, returned to Jerusalem with strange wives and children. Ezra was greatly troubled and mourned for their transgression, seeking to influence the people back to their original convictions.

Our grieving, weeping and pleading for other people's sin have the capacity to break down those who otherwise would have continued unashamedly in their sinful
