A dissolute young man was offered a tract on the streets. He took it from the distributor's hand and thrust it into his pocket. With a sneer, he said: "It will do to light my pipe.”
Later that same night he put his hand into his pocket. Finding the crushed tract, he pulled it out. Folding it up he proceeded to do with it as he had said. As the flame lighted the burning paper, one bold word flashed out before his eyes. That word was "ETERNITY.”
He tried to forget it, but could not. It haunted him day and night. At last he came as a lost sinner to God, and found rest in the Lord Jesus Christ as his Savior.
What does that word eternity mean to you, reader?. "These shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal." Matt. 25:4646And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. (Matthew 25:46).
