During one of George Whitfield's sermons he broke off abruptly from his discourse on "the wrath to come" and burst into a flood of tears and cried:
"O, my hearers, the wrath to come! The wrath to come!"
Sometime afterward a young man who heard the sermon said:
"Those words sank deep into my heart, like lead in the water. I wept, and when the sermon was ended, I retired alone. For days and weeks I could think of little else. Those awful words would follow me, wherever I went. 'The wrath to come! The wrath to come!' "
It was God's voice by His servant to that young man and he sought and found a sure refuge in the Savior.
God warns us of judgment to come, and to beware lest it fall upon us. But He has provided a shelter, all-sufficient and sufficient for all, and He would have all hide therein. If we put our trust in Jesus, He will shelter us from the judgment which is ready to fall on this world of unbelievers.
