"It is quite time for me to think what shall become of me," said one after hearing these words. They filled his soul with terror; the prospect of the Day of Judgment and the vanity of the world appalled him.
Another hearing them said, calm in his faith in Christ: "I believe; because His words shall never pass away." His soul rested upon the free, full salvation Jesus proclaims.
No, those words shall never pass away—those words of pardon and of peace. After this earth has been dissolved, and the heavens above have been rolled up by Him as a garment, the verity of His own words shall still exist in the bliss and peace of those who trusted Him for eternity. He had said to them, in the distress and burden of their sins, "Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
