The Path of Life

You will show me the path of life…” Ps 16:11

Intro: starting out on the path to real comfort

Q2: How many things must you know to live and die in the joy of this comfort?

A: Three:

first, how great my sin and misery are;

second, how I am delivered from all my sins and misery;

third, how I am to thank God for such deliverance.

I. Necessary to know

The role of experience

Confess

A doctor’s visit

II. Jesus leads the Samaritan woman down the path

A gift - deliverance

Her “husband” - sin & misery

The grand result - gratitude

III. Jesus leads the ten lepers down the path

“have mercy on us!” - sin & misery

“Show yourself to the priest” - deliverance

and he fell on his face at His feet… gratitude
