We do not want this man to rule
over us. Charles Simeon. We do not want
this man to rule over us. Luke 19 verse 14. You cannot
serve God and money. The Pharisees, who were lovers
of money, heard all these things, and they ridiculed him. Luke
16 verses 13 to 14. The unsaved view the gospel as
too humiliating in its doctrines and too strict in its precepts.
They are filled with pride and are unwilling to embrace any
sentiment that tends to abase them. They are also full of worldly
and carnal lusts, which they cannot endure to have mortified
and subdued. In short, their desires and their
passions are altogether adverse to the gospel, so that, when
the word is preached to them, they instantly set themselves
against it. Bring here these enemies of mine
who did not want me to rule over them and slaughter them in my
presence. Luke 19 verse 27.
