Luke 6:46-49
It has been said, with much truth, that no sermon should conclude without some personal application to the consciences of those who hear it. The passage before us is an example of this rule, and a confirmation of its correctness. It is a solemn and heart-searching conclusion of a most solemn discourse.
Let us mark, in these verses, what an old and common sin is profession without practice. It is written that our Lord said, “Why call me ye Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” The Son of God Himself had many followers, who pretended to honour Him by calling Him Lord, but yielded no obedience to His commandments.
