Left Behind

Listen from:
Christ is coming! One of two things will happen to you when He comes—you will either be caught up to be forever with Him, or else you will be left behind for judgment. Think of it: left behind for judgment!
Jesus said, As it was in the days of Noe [Noah], so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. How was it in the days of Noah? A world of sinners, ignoring God’s warnings and unprepared for His judgment, was swept away to eternal destruction by the terrible floodwaters of wrath.
So shall it be when Christ comes. Wickedness will be rampant, and multitudes will be unprepared because their sins have not been washed away in His blood, and, therefore, they will be lost throughout all eternity. Will you be one of them?
Yes, the Judge is coming! Still His voice comes to us, still pleading with sinners in tones of the tenderest love: Come unto Me . . . and I will give you rest. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life. But even as we listen, the voice changes to a voice of sorrow and we hear Him grieving, Ye will not come to Me, that ye might have life.
Are those words of sorrow prophetic of the doom of your Christless soul? Or will you this instant come to the feet of Him who died that you might live and who, in patient grace, still lingers to receive you and forgive you through the saving power of His blood?
