It is a sweet picture to see a little child fast asleep. Her older sister has evidently been up and. dressed for quite a while, and even Shep has come to her bedside to see why she is still asleep.
Are you, dear reader, truly awake to the facts that you have to meet God, and that there is eternity ahead? Have you thought of where you will spend eternity? Many are going on asleep as to these great facts, and God would have them awake while there is still the offer of salvation through Christ Jesus.
“THERE IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED.” Acts 4.12.
That name is Jesus Christ. Have you taken Him as your Saviour? If you have, you are awake as to these two great facts, and you will be able to say:
“I will spend eternity with the Lord Jesus Christ.”
But if you have not, you are still asleep, O, may you awake now, for the time is near when the Lord Jesus will no longer offer to be your Saviour. He will soon take the place of judge of all those who have despised and rejected Him.
