What Think Ye of Christ?
Rex Yancey
Matthew 22:41-46
In one of my seminary classes, a student asked the professor how many points a sermon should have. The professor said, "At least one." Today, I want to preach a one-idea sermon. It is not exactly like the one the preacher preached on Bartimaeus. He said, "This morning I have a one- idea sermon on Bartimaeus. He was blind. He was blind as a bat. And, he could not see a lick!"

He said, "Some of my friends believe in God and some of my friends do not believe in God. I am inclined to agree with my friends!"
This morning I am not dealing with you on your basis of belief in a Supreme Being. Heathens, murderers, adulterers, and even the devils in hell believe in God and tremble in their belief.
There are some organizations that invoke the name of God. However, neither man, nor bodies of men will every approach God apart from the mediation of Jesus Christ. John 14:1-6, "I am the way, the ...
