Have you never heard of the man who lost his way one night? He came to the edge of a precipice—as he thought—and fell over. As he fell he clutched at an old tree limb and there he hung, clinging to his frail support with all his might. There he hung until he got desperately afraid lest he should be dashed to pieces. At last his hands could hold up his body no longer; so he dropped and fell—about six inches—on to a smooth, mossy bank, where he lay unhurt and safer.
Now, there are many who think that sure destruction must await them if they confess sin and resign all into the hands of God. It is an idle fear. Give up your hold upon everything but Christ, and drop down. Soft and mossy will be the bank which receives you.
Jesus Christ, by His love and by the efficacy of His precious blood; will give you immediate rest and peace. Only drop now. Drop down at once. This is the major part of faith—the giving up of every other hold, and simply falling upon Christ. That dropping down will bring you present salvation.
