1 Kings 13:4-6

The Man of Sin.

When the man of God predicted the confusion of the political religion of Jeroboam, and gave the sign that the altar at Bethel should be rent and its ashes poured out, the pride of the king who stood there as a priest was mortified, and his resentment was manifested as described in the text.

I. JEROBOAM WAS A TYPICAL SINNER .

1 . He transgressed God's law —

2 . He did so impudently .

II. HIS DOOM ALSO WAS TYPICAL .

1 . He was confronted by the word of God .

2 . He was humbled by the power of God .

3 . Yet he persisted in his sin .
