THE two little brothers have started out for a race down the hill on their wagon. But as down the pathway they sped, little baby brother became frightened, until he gave vent to his feelings in loud cries and tears.
The elder brother was not so, but rather enjoyed it, not thinking of the danger that might possibly be ahead.
Many are like this older brother who are hastening on down the pathway of life, not thinking of what is ahead of them, with no thought or fear of God before their eyes, forgetting that any moment may be their last upon earth, and they may be ushered into eternity.
God tells us in His Word,
"AS IT IS APPOINTED UNTO MEN ONCE TO DIE, BUT AFTER THIS THE JUDGMENT: SO CHRIST WAS ONCE OFFERED TO BEAR THE SINS OF MANY: AND UNTO THEM THAT LOOK FOR HIM SHALL HE APPEAR THE SECOND TIME WITH. OUT SIN UNTO SALVATION." Heb. 9:27-28.
Yes, dear reader, there is terrible judgment ahead for all those who will go on carelessly; but for those who will fear God, and will gladly take Christ as the One who has been offered for their sins on Calvary's cross, there is salvation.
O, do not put this solemn question aside carelessly, for at any moment you may enter eternity, and if in carelessness, it will mean eternal woe for you. Nothing can be of greater importance to settle.
Do you say "What shall I do?" The Lord Jesus answers,
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." Acts 16:31.
"Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out." John 6:37.
