Yonder lies a man dying of some deadly disease. But before him is placed a cup containing a healing draft. He has simply to drink and live! Yet he refuses to drink, and dies. People will say he died of the deadly disease. This is true in a sense. But it would be more correct to say that he died because he rejected the remedy. Thus it is with the soul. Men are perishing on every hand. They are going down to the chambers of eternal death. What is their disease? It is sin.
The great—the only Remedy—has been put within your reach. Christ is the Gift of God to you. Do you push Him from you, and say you will not have this Savior? Or do you receive Him?—and thus enter upon life eternal.
