A lady once said to me, “I would like to get rid of my sins, and I pray God every evening to forgive me, but I cannot get certainty.”
I asked if I could accompany her home, and when we got there I said, “Now please make me a cup of tea.” She readily agreed, put it on the table, and said, “Now enjoy it.”
I waited a bit, and then said, “Oh, do make me a cup of tea. I should like it.”
She said, “You asked for it; I made it, and there it stands!”
I replied, “I asked for tea, and you made it. I did not ask the Son of God to die, but He did it in the matchless love of His own heart. ‘It is finished.’ You cry every night for it; you must take it, as I must take the tea and drink it. All you have to do is to take it.”
Then light broke into her heart.
Many want to feel they are saved before they believe it. It is like a man waiting to feel what it is to have his thirst quenched before he drinks. Take it! Believe it, and be at peace with God through His own Son!
You have done enough to get eternally lost. The blessed Saviour has done enough to save you eternally. Rest on the finished work of the Lord Jesus, and God will give you eternal salvation and satisfaction.
The moss is empty; the tomb is empty; the Throne is filled, and at the right hand of God sits the glorified Man, the Prince of the kings of the earth, Who in the near future, will display His splendor; and to Whom now we can sing, Unto Him Who loves us, and has washed us from our sins in His own blood, and hath made us kings and priests to God and His Father. To Him be glory and dominion forever and ever.
Amen.
