A bereaved sister, a Christian, was telling a friend who was visiting her about the death of her brother. She had nursed him devotedly in his illness.
"And was he saved?" anxiously inquired her friend. The sister shook her head sadly in the negative.
"But did you not put the way of salvation before him?”
"Well you see," said the grieving sister, "I did not like to disturb his last days!”
And so the brother passed "undisturbed" into a lost eternity! His sister, devoted to him in life, had thought it better that he should die a lost soul than that his last days should be "disturbed" by his being urged to accept Christ. How sad that He who had shed His blood and died in order to bring salvation to him and thus save him from an endless eternity of woe should thus have been ignored!
“Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace." Heb. 10:2929Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? (Hebrews 10:29).
