God Causes Wrath to Praise Him

When men think they are rooting out the truth of God, they are often only causing it to spread more widely. This is illustrated in the case of Simon, who bore the cross for Jesus. The Jews thought that by seizing him they were simply hurrying matters up to get Christ out of the way, so that his hated doctrine might perish. But Simon was from Cyrene, a city in the north of Africa; the service which he rendered Jesus that day resulted in his conversion; and thus an instrument was raised up to carry the gospel into Africa. Thus God causes the wrath of man to praise him.
