Can we not see how the witness of the Spirit and the Word had now been effectively slain, killed in the street of the great city of religion! Ah, but never forget, precious friend of mine, the seed of Christ was still lying in the earth, awaiting the blessed day when the Father would send “showers” from heaven — and that seed would germinate and rise again! There would be a great field of grain and a vast harvest! The impact of the next move of God would be greater than any previous work of the Lord! The resurrection of our Lord from death and the grave is the keystone of the Christian faith. And the spiritual resurrection of the Spirit and the Word from the grave of carnality is likewise imperative! When great reformers, set aflame with Holy Spirit power, declared truth at the peril of their lives, Rome’s walls of bondage burst like a tomb in an earthquake. The Word, which had long been chained in static creeds and lifeless rituals, became alive in the power of the Spirit! O glorious day of the blessed Reformation! Rome’s tyranny was conquered. The gospel was again preached to the poor. Prisoners were loosed and chains of sin and religious slavery were broken. Vast areas and nations and empires of the world were impacted by the glorious gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ as the Spirit and the Word ascended up into the new heavens of the Spirit in the midst of God’s people!
