John Newton
John Newton was the captain of a slave ship. His wantonness was renown. The evil he allowed on his ship was notorious. Surely, in him, the devil and his minions believed they had one of their own in human flesh.
But John Newton encountered CHRIST. This evil man found HIM in the midst of a terrifying storm.
The life of John Newton was turned around--180 degrees--from where he was in the depth of the depravity of sin to where the LORD desired him to be in the hollow of HIS hand, in the center of HIS will.
Where are you?
If a vile sinner like John Newton could be transformed into a saint of GOD, so can you be transformed.
At the point of your need, in the midst of your great storm, allow JESUS to speak to you as HE spoke to John Newton. Let JESUS make you new--into a person who reflects not the depravity of sin but the goodness and mercy and transformative power of JESUS CHRIST.
