Religion a Personal Concern, a sermon by Robert Hawker
"The Master is come, and calleth for thee." John 11:28
I HAVE been often led to admire, and in that admiration to adore, the divine goodness, when contemplating the wonderful display of grace, which God the Holy Ghost, hath been pleased to adopt, in order to convey, a proper sense, of his distinguishing mercies to the soul. It certainly becomes, no small testimony, of the blessed Spirit’s love, and condescension, to his people, his attention to theme in this respect. Not satisfied, with making a general proclamation, of the precious things of the gospel, according as their several necessities require; he carries on his divine operations in the heart, in a yet more intimate and endearing manner, and makes them personal, appropriate and particular. They come by his appointment to the soul, like letters expressly directed, and speak to the person, to whom they are addressed, in a language similar to that of Paul’s at Antioch; to you is the word of this salvation sent. (Acts 13:26) And certainly, there is a sweetness, in the conscious possession of this divine favour, as being special, and distinguishing, which like the white stone and the new name, no man knows, saving he that receives it. (Revelation 2:17)
