Our picture today is of the Aquarium building on the beautiful island of Bermuda. It is built in a lovely park and it brings to mind an occasion when two men were riding past another such spot in this land.
As they were admiring its beauty, one man said to the other, “How much do you think this estate is worth?”
“I don’t know how much it is worth,” was the answer, “but I know what it cost the late owner of it.” “How much?”
“His soul,” was the startling reply. “The owner of it died a wretched death, saying on his deathbed that all his misery was due to his money, which had often led him to fraud and sin.”
Alas! there are many like him too, who are so taken up with the empty things of this passing world that they have “no time” for the Lord Jesus Christ. They may drive beautiful cars and have grand homes, but they will have to leave them all behind some day, and then the great question, “Eternity! Where?”
Dear reader, you will have to meet God some day, and you will have time for that. Do not allow the enemy of your soul to deceive you into thinking that you have “no time” now for this important matter. You may have great wealth in this world, or you may not, but one thing is certain, you cannot take anything with you. You can be saved this very day, if you will acknowledge yourself as a poor lost sinner, and put your trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. He died upon the cross of Calvary as the Sin-bearer, that He might give you a mansion in heaven. Why not decide for Christ today!
