The Puritan John Owen was
perhaps the greatest ever English theologian.
On the 31st
January 1649 he was preaching to Parliament.
I wonder who can tell me
what had happened the day before?
[Charles I had been
beheaded.]
The remarkable thing is
that Owen didn’t mention it once.
I’m not planning to
mention Brexit either, you may be pleased to hear.
Owen had something far
more important to preach about, and so do we:
It’s the great question
which occupies these chapters of Romans:
How is a person justified
before God?
How can sinners like you
and me be acceptable in the sight of a holy God?
There is really no more
important question, is there?
Our eternal destiny hangs
on this.
