Did
it ever strike you what a wonderful thing it is for the Lord to give a new
heart and a right spirit to [you]? You have seen a lobster, perhaps, which has
fought with another lobster, and lost one of its claws, and a new claw has
grown. That is a remarkable thing; but it is a much more astounding fact that a
man should have a new heart given to him. This, indeed, is a miracle beyond the
powers of nature. There is a tree. If you cut off one of its limbs, another one
may grow in its place; but can you change the tree; can you sweeten sour sap;
can you make the thorn bear figs? You can graft something better into it and
that is the analogy which nature gives us of the work of grace; but absolutely
to change the vital sap of the tree would be a miracle indeed. Such a prodigy
and mystery of power God works in all who believe in Jesus.
