Divine
grace is not only amazing, it is also shrewd and crafty!
Don't
believe it? Read this, and be warned!
2Samuel 12
1 And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he
came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich,
and the other poor.
2 The rich man had exceeding many flocks and
herds:
3 But the poor man had nothing, save one
little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together
with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his
own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.
4 And there came a traveller unto the rich
man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for
the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man’s lamb, and
dressed it for the man that was come to him.
5 And David’s anger was greatly kindled
against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD liveth, the man that hath
done this thing shall surely die.
It is infinitely better to wisely stir up a man to condemn himself vehemently from his own mouth than you trying to confront him with his sin! See, grace is crafty!
That way you save all the futile arguments and noisome confrontation!
Which
way would you take to deal with the issue?
1.
'O king, thou art a great and wise judge. please help me to judge this case...'
2.
'O king, thou art an adulterer and a murderer... and here are the pieces of evidence of
thy sordid and hideous sins.'
