Listen from:
When a person wants to sleep, he closes his eyes to the light and tries to shut out all noise. When a man wants to continue living in sin, he closes his eyes to the light of God’s truth, shuts his ears to the least sound of the gospel and deadens his conscience lest he should awaken to any concern about his soul’s condition. Satan will help him in this and will draw thick curtains securely around him so that the light of God’s truth should not shine into his heart.
What pains people take to shut out Christ, the Light. It would seem, to hear and see them, that He was a thief and a robber instead of a loving Saviour knocking, knocking at the door of the soul. He longs to bring in rich blessings to a poor, lost, starving one and to give life eternal.
“I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand” (John 10:2828And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. (John 10:28)).
Are you still sleeping, or have you wakened to life and light?
