Well, Master, Thou hast said the truth.

The Divine echo in the human heart

Man needs a Saviour. The heart of man answers, “Well, Master, Thou hast said the truth.” What are the practical consequences of our having this responsive faculty?

I. Man is made a co-worker with God; not a machine, but a cooperating agent.

II. Man enjoys the restraints of conscience. The Bible appeals to and has the consent of conscience.

III. God bases His judgment upon this responsive faculty. “To him that knoweth to do good,” etc. The judgment day will be short, because every man will be his own witness. (The Pulpit Analyst.)
