A young man asked a preacher, "You say that unsaved people carry a weight of sin. How heavy is sin? Is it ten pounds? Eighty pounds? I don't feel any weight!"
The preacher replied by asking: "If you laid a four hundred pound weight on a corpse, would it feel the load?"
The youth replied, "It would feel nothing, because it is dead."
The preacher concluded, "He, too, is dead indeed who feels no load of sin or is indifferent to its burden and flippant about its presence."
The young man was silenced.
