Then He also said to the multitudes, "Whenever you see a cloud rising out of the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming'; and so it is. And when you see the south wind blow, you say, 'There will be hot weather'; and there is. Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time? Yes, and why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right?" (Luke 12:54-57)
Is Christianity based on nothing more than myths? In this sermon Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones confronts this false claim, showing that the message of Christianity is based on the historical facts of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the second person of the Trinity. The Holy Scriptures attest to this as the inspired revelation of God the Creator Himself. God testified to His existence and attributes in the very creation of the world and in His continual works of providence.
Despite all this, humanity rejects Christianity. They claim that it is intellectually shallow, lacks evidence, and that only those who sacrifice their minds can assent to it. However, Jesus Himself made it clear that those who reject Christianity do not do so because of intellectual objections, but because of the effects of sin. While mankind may be capable of extraordinary feats of science, technology, art, and medicine, we are unable to comprehend spiritual truths unless God opens our hearts and minds to understand the Gospel. Human beings are not stupid, but blinded by sin. They know that if they come to Christ, they must leave behind their sinful ways and give all to Christ. No one is capable of leaving behind a life of sin and rebellion unless God in His grace enlightens the heart and mind.
