The devil has many "lines," all of which lead to hell. Only one road leads to heaven. Jesus alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
You may say, "Do not bother me. I will not travel on any line." In that you are greatly mistaken. Travel you must. Every day is a day nearer heaven or hell.
Look at the crowd about you and let me ask: "Where is the crowd that thronged this world a hundred years ago?" But hark again: One speaks from heaven, "Behold, I come quickly!”
His words are fast being fulfilled. The professing church is as He said it would be: “While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.” Some are saying, "We will not believe He is coming." Others: "We will not have Him to reign over us." Few, very few, are waiting for the Son of God from Heaven.
The 'Word of God assures us that He will suddenly come and take the world with as great surprise as the flood in the days of Noah, or the destroying fire of God that fell on Sodom. Men may laugh now, as men laughed then. Scorners may say, “Where is the promise of His coming?”
But after years of careful searching of the Scriptures, I find that God is faithful and His Word is true.
Dear friend, take God at His word. Christ is coming! How soon no one knows—but, perhaps today. First Thessalonians tells us, “The Lord Himself shall descend... and so shall we ever be with the Lord." What an event!
Ah, reader, are you ready? Can you say, “Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly"? You tremble at the thought. Your sins! You cannot bear to meet the Lord with them unpardoned. Oh, bring them at once to the cross. Jesus said, "Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out." None ever sought forgiveness and were denied. "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”
There are thousands who profess to be Christians, but have never received Christ as their Savior. Their lamps have no oil in them—they are going out. Think of the midnight cry! Awake from that fatal slumber! Fellow believer, trim your lamp! Gird up your loins! Be like one that waits for your Lord. "For yet a little while, and He that shall come will come, and will not tarry." C. S.
