A LEARNED man whose delight it was to gather together all kinds of rare stones, took sick; and he remained so for a long time; conscious that his strength was fast giving way. But a crisis came in his life; he was converted to Christ, the Son of God. He then often spoke of his approaching death with quietness and joy. The hour of his death had however not yet come; the Lord rebuked the sickness and he recovered, gaining daily in strength. When he was well again, his physician asked him how it was that he could look forward to his death with so much quietness. With a happy smile the professor replied: “I will gladly explain this to you. You see I have found a Stone, much more precious than any I had found hitherto; I have it with me and shall take it long into eternity; it is the “Chief Cornell Stone” of which it is written: ‘Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious, and he that believeth on Jim shall not be confounded.’” 1 Pet. 2:66Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. (1 Peter 2:6).
Yes, dear reader, everything that man is building his salvation upon, must come to nought; but he that believeth on Him shall not be confounded or ashamed.
