The passengers had taken their seats, the conductor had waved his lantern to the engineer far up the track, he had boarded the train, and now it was slowly pulling out of the station.
Running swiftly down the platform came a young man who wanted to catch that train. Not a moment was to be lost. Putting forth all his energies he managed to spring onto the step of the last coach and was safe aboard. He was the last to get on that train, and a fellow-passenger remarked to him as he did so, “You’ve run it close!” Yes, but he was in!
Someone will be the last to trust in Jesus. You are perhaps “running it close,” sinner friend. Is someone else to be the last, and you—TOO LATE?
