In the year 1847, a doctor from Edinburgh, Sir James Simpson, discovered that chloroform could be used as an anaesthetic to render people insensible to the pain of surgery. From his early experiments, Dr. Simpson made it possible for people to go through the most dangerous operations without fear of pain and suffering. Some people even claim that his was one of the most significant discoveries of modern medicine. Some years later, while lecturing at the University of Edinburgh, Dr. Simpson was asked by one of his students, "What do you consider to be the most valuable discovery of your lifetime?" To the surprise of his students, who had expected him to refer to chloroform, Dr. Simpson replied, "My most valuable discovery was when I discovered myself a sinner and that Jesus Christ was my Saviour." The most valuable discovery that you and I can make this morning is this: No matter how smart I am, No matter how well I can preach, No matter how well I can organize I am still just a sinner saved by grace! There is no power in me, I am just the faucet, the conduit, the vessel through which His power moves! There is no magic in the faucet - I NEED JESUS!
