Unfriendly Heralds of Christ
Mark 5:14
And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.


I. DIFFICULTY OF GETTING THE GOSPEL TRULY AND FAITHFULLY PREACHED.

II. CONTRAST THIS WITH THE RAPID SPREAD OF FALSE NOTIONS ABOUT CHRIST, HERESIES, UNSETTLING ALARMS, ETC,

III. COMPENSATIONS.

1. The existence of Christ is made known. By-and-by his character will vindicate itself.

2. Curiosity is aroused and feeling excited. Almost anything is better than indifference. And the witnesses of his truth and grace are everywhere.

3. The disciples of Christ are compelled to vindicate their Master. - M.
