Click here to view listing below for Mat 3:12

THE down-grade towards, and in, evil and error is no modern practice.

  1. A Saint out of Communion. “Abram went down into Egypt” (Genesis 12:10).
  2. A Backsliding Worker. “Jonah went down to Joppa” (Jonah 1:3); “went down into it” (Jonah 1:3); “went down to the bottoms” (Jonah 2:6).
  3. A Self-willed Actor. “Samson went down to Timnath…She is right in mine eyes” (Judges 14:1-3, M.).
  4. A Disobedient Alliance. Jehoshaphat “went down to Ahab” (2 Chron. 18:1-2; 2 Cor. 6:14).
  5. A Robbed Man. “Went down from Jerusalem” (the place of blessing) “to Jericho” (the cursed place), “and fell among thieves” (Luke 10:30). An illustration of what sin has done for man.
  6. Cleansed Leper. Naaman “went down and dipped himself seven times in Jordan…and he was clean” (2 Kings 5:14). Jordan means judgment; Christ went down into the Jordan of God’s judgment, that we might be cleansed from sin (Matt. 3; Rom. 8).
  7. Punished Rebels. “Korah…went down alive into the pit” (Sheol, Numbers 16:32-33).
