YOUNG man who had lived for himself in sinful pleasure was now in deep distress of spirit. The light had dawned for him and he saw himself utterly unfit for God. And that light will dawn for everyone.
In the brightness of God's throne—that great white throne—every mouth will be stopped, and every sinner will see the awfulness of his sin against God.
Yes! every man will be troubled about his sins someday. It may be now while there is still salvation, or it may be when nothing but judgment can be the sinner's doom.
"I cannot be saved," cried the distressed man.
"Why?" asked a Christian who was seeking to help him.
"Because I am a big sinner."
"Well, Christ is a big Saviour."
"But you don't know what a sinner I am."
"And you do not know what a Saviour Christ is."
"I am a sinner."
"He is a Saviour and He saves nobody but sinners. More than that, He has no others but sinners to make saints of."
"Then," cried he, springing to his feet, "He shall make one of me."
As a sinner lost and undone, he came to the sinner's Saviour and found a welcome and a full salvation, and his whole life hears witness to the Saviour's grace and power.
