"Canceling the Gospel of Grace" - a sermon by Dr. J. R. Norwood
Today, so called "cancel culture" has run amuck! Anyone goes against popular opinion or fads is quickly shut down... they get "cancelled" by the public. Any who challenge the momentary fashionable "group think" becomes ostracized and outcast.
As Jesus proclaimed the truth of salvation... the very people who should have been happy to hear it were instead offended by it... instead of embracing it, they walked away from it... instead of rejoicing over it, they attempted to cancel it.... they shut their ears and turned their backs and left. Unbelievers turned away from the true Gospel of Jesus Christ then and they still do today... they still try to cancel the true Gospel of Grace.
John 6:66-69 (ESV); 66 After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. 67 So Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, 69 and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.” 70 Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve? And yet one of you is a devil.” 71 He spoke of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.
