YOU may consider yourself, dear reader, an entire stranger to the one who addresses you through this paper, but it so happens that he knows three things about you. THREE UNDENIABLE FACTS! To throw this paper down would only prove that you were afraid of facing them; but the facts themselves would still remain.
Indeed you can no more get rid of them than a bird could fly away from its own wings.
You have—
A GOD TO MEET.
A HISTORY TO ACCOUNT FOR.
AN ETERNITY TO SPEND.
But stay; this is not all we have to say. It is our privilege to tell you that the God you so much dread to meet in coming judgment is prepared to meet you in present blessing.
If you come to Him through Christ, He will wipe out every stain from your guilty history, and make you as fit for the highest glory as you are now fit for the lowest hell.
His precious Son has died; the cleansing blood has been shed; and in spite of your sinful past your soul may yet be saved. Oh, what a Saviour Jesus is! If you only knew Him, the thought of meeting Him would no longer be your darkest dread, but would become your brightest hope.
This may be yours, not because you have any merit, but all on the ground of pure grace. I ask: Does it not suit your case? For surely you have naught to plead but God’s own love and your exceeding need.
Accept then this all-gracious Saviour, and when you have accepted Him
“Let everybody see it
That Christ hath set you free;
And if it set them longing,
Say, ‘Jesus died for thee.’”
