Sermon Illustrations

On one trip to India, my friend Masi hosted me at his home and made a point of asking me to wake him if I needed to visit the out door bathroom in the night. Well, he slept so soundly, and I had my own flashlight so I went outside on my own in the night to tend to things. The next time I was there, Masi explained to me that he wanted to help me in the night because they had a cobra living in the wall of their compound that roamed at night, and Masi wanted to protect me from his serpent night watchman. I’m glad I hadn’t encountered his pet cobra in the former visit.
