The great weakness of the present preaching of the gospel is that we try to make people understand the plan of salvation, or we try to drive people to the Lord through the fear of sin and its consequences. Wherein have we failed? I am sure it is in this, that our hearers do not see Him, for we do not adequately present the Person. They only see “sin” or “salvation,” whereas their need is to see the Lord Jesus Himself, and to meet Him and “touch” Him.
Touching the Lord
