To men and women rushing hither and thither along the crowded highways of life comes a warning signal: "Stop—Look—Listen." Dear soul hastening on into eternity, more than life depends upon your response. Your soul's eternal destiny will be determined by the decision you make after you stop, look, and listen to God's warning signal.
STOP
Have you come to the end of sell? Are the odds all against you? Are you at wit's end corner, knowing not which way to turn? Then stop! Stand still in the presence of Him who says, "Be still, and know that I am God." Psa. 46:1010Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. (Psalm 46:10).
LOOK!
Yes, look unto the Savior dying on Calvary. There the Lord Jesus Christ shed His blood for your sins. He laid down His life in your stead, for "the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Rom. 6:2323For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23).
“Look, look, look, and live.
There is life for a look at the crucified One,
There is life at this moment for thee.”
LISTEN!
Listen not to the noise and bustle all around, nor to the organizations of men which call to you offering peace, surcease from worry. All these are vain. To what can man listen then in time of need?
Stand still, dear soul; look unto Jesus, and listen to Him alone. Do you not hear Him? A still, small voice is speaking to your heart. What tender love is in that voice, what comfort and assurance to your soul! It is Jesus speaking: "Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out." John 6:3737All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. (John 6:37). He is speaking directly to you. Listen! "hear Him," for this is God's command as given to the disciples on the mount of transfiguration.
Stop, and see the Salvation of the Lord. You are at a crossroad—the warning signal is before you—Stop.
Look, and see your only salvation from the penalty (wages) of your sin which is death. Look away to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of faith, "who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." Heb. 12:22Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2).
Listen! There are two voices. Satan, the liar and the father of lies, questions: "Hath God said"? But listen carefully, dear soul! God, who cannot lie, says "The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Rom. 6:2323For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23). "HEAR HIM.”
