Every Natural Man is a Wounded Man
Luke 10:29-37
But he, willing to justify himself, said to Jesus, And who is my neighbor?…


Cast your eye upon what part you please, you can see nothing but wounds and bruises (Isaiah 1:5). His mind that is blind (Jeremiah 10:14; Jeremiah 51:17; Ephesians 5:8). Vain (Proverbs 14:12; Ephesians 4:17; 1 Corinthians 1:21). Foolish (Titus 3:8; Isaiah 29:18; Job 11:12). His will rebellious and adverse (Revelation 8:7; 7:14; 6:19; Matthew 23:37; Jeremiah 18:12; Jeremiah 44:16, 17). His memory marvellous weak and feeble (Luke 24:6, 7, 8; Hebrews 13:2; 2 Peter 3:5). His conscience that is benumbed (Ephesians 4:19; Hebrews 9:14; Genesis 10:15). Turmoiled (John 8:9; 1 John 3:20; Acts 2:37; Acts 24:26). Impure (Titus 1:15; Hebrews 10:22). Superstitious and erroneous (Mark 10:19, 20; Luke 18:12; Matthew 15:2, 3; John 16:2). His affections are unruly and disordered; they stand quite cross and contrary unto God (Galatians 15:24; Romans 10:2; 1 Kings 22:8; 1 Kings 21:4; James 4:12). His outward members are all instruments of sin (Romans 6:18, 19; Romans 3:13; Psalm 52:4; 1 Peter 2:24).
