Stinking Things

Summary

The sermon discusses the spiritual condition of sinners as being like Lazarus after four days in the grave—stinking and dead in sin—yet Jesus gives life to such 'stinking sinners' for the glory of God. The preacher emphasizes that God's grace reaches us before we are purified or made worthy, illustrating that salvation is by God's power and not human merit. The message encourages believers to recognize their past spiritual deadness and to live for God's glory, just as Lazarus was raised to life.
