You can empty a church by degrees! A preacher may speak so far above the heads of the congregation that they wonder what he’s talking about! It’s true that any fool can make a simple thing difficult but it takes a wise person to make a difficult thing appear simple.
It was said of Jesus that, “The common people heard Him gladly.” [Mark 12:37] He was the most brilliant preacher the world has ever known yet He spoke in the language of the masses and His deeds matched His words! “He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross” all because our sins were of such a high degree. [Philippians 2:8]
