Genesis 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men… Story of Jack the Giant Killer: written to teach children that they have got to fight giants. I. The first giant you have to overcome is ILL-TEMPER. Look out for him when told to do something you don't want to do. The time to beat him is right at the beginning. II. The next giant you have to meet is SELFISHNESS. We have only one mouth because we don't have to eat for anybody else; but two ears, eyes, hands, because we have to help other people. This giant has only one ear, eye, hand — just enough to do for himself and nothing more. III. The third giant is UNTRUTHFULNESS. He is a big liar. The most dangerous of all the giants. Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle that fits them all. IV. DISOBEDIENCE. V. SELF-SUFFICIENCY. Whenever this giant moves you to sneer at the honest beliefs of others, or to set your opinion and wisdom against that of the world, there is but one thing that will suffice to conquer him, and that is faith. (J. M. Pullman.) Parallel Verses KJV: There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. |
