Insulting the Spirit of Grace (6 of 7)
Beyond Amazing: Understanding the Grace of God

Hebrews 10:19-31
If you have your Bible, please turn to Hebrews chapter 10. We've been in a series for the last several weeks called Beyond Amazing: Understanding the Grace of God. And today, we want to share a very sobering passage of Scripture, a stern warning from Scripture. And I've entitled this message, Insulting the Spirit of Grace.
Now, I would image most of us in here know what it's like to be insulted. Some time in your life you have been insulted. If you've been in the ministry, I think every pastor knows what it's like to be insulted, to get an insulting e-mail or an anonymous letter or something like that. Insults are kind of what happens in our world.
I heard about the famous painter, James Whistler. Remember that guy? He lived in the 1800s in England. He painted the painting, Whistler's Mother. It's a really weird-looking Norman Bates mother kind of painting. You go look it up, you can see. That painting is worth 36 million dollars today, Whistler's Mother. So, I guess I'm not going to make too much fun of that. But, he was one who was arrogant and thinking he was a cut above, and he never really had much respect for the hierarchy of other professions. One day, he called one of the pre-eminent doctors in London, ears, nose, and throat doctor, he called him to his house. The man's name was Sir. Morell Mackenzie. And when Mackenzie came to his house, James Whistler brought him into the bedroom where his poodle was, and says, "My poodle is sick. I need you to care for him." Well, the doctor was insulted, but he looked at the poodle, he examined the poodle. He wrote out a prescription. He said, "This is what you need to give to the poodle." And he got his fee, and then he left. Well, the next day, he sent a message to James Whistler, said, "I need to see you asap." And so, Whistler thought, well, this might be something ...
