One bright summer day a Christian gentleman was walking along a country road when he came to a man who was hard at work breaking rocks. He began to talk with him, and soon learned he was one of those who dare to doubt the truth of the Scriptures.
The Christian sought to enlighten the man and said to him, "Well, my man, just look up at the sun yonder."
"I can't sir," replied the man.
"But why can't you?"
"Because it is too bright for my eyes."
"Now, my man, if you can't look at the sun, how will you be able to look at its Maker?" rejoined the gentleman earnestly, as he went on his way.
The last sentence arrested the man's attention. How could he ever behold such glory? This question was used to arouse the man's conscience, for, like an arrow shot at a venture and winged by the Spirit of God, those words stayed in his mind, tearing to pieces all his former self-confidence. Before long he found real, abiding, and eternal peace by bowing to God and believing on the Lord Jesus Christ.
