Sermon Illustrations

A pastor asked a dying man, "My friend, what persuasion are you?"

The man replied, "I am of Paul’s persuasion."

The pastor said, "I am afraid you didn’t understand me. Of what persuasion are you?"

The man answered, "Oh, I understood you. I am of Paul’s persuasion."

The pastor then said, "I’m afraid I don’t understand you. There is a Methodist persuasion, Baptist persuasion, Lutheran, Presbyterian, and Nazarene persuasion, but what do you mean by ’Paul’s persuasion?’"

The man smiled and then said, "I know Whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day."

I like "Paul's Persuasion" better than anyone else's!

Blessed Assurance, Jesus is mine,

Oh what a foretaste of glory divine;

Heir of salvation, purchased of love,

Born of His spirit, washed in His blood.

- Precept Austin
