SPRINGTIME is just upon us, and how glad we are for the great change from the snowclad earth to the green budding trees, and from the frozen rivers to the running streams. Each season has its own particular beauty, and we might well praise and thank God for all His provisions to His creatures. God has fulfilled His promise which He made after the flood,
The earth has had its seasons from that time on, and will to the end of all things here, when He shall melt the earth with fervent heat, and there will be no more sea; all man’s works shall be burned up, and there will be no more trace of sin.
God also uses the seasons as a symbol of the time of opportunity for man to be saved.
Soon the harvest for this earth will take place; that is, the Lord Jesus is coming to take all His own to be with Himself; and those who have heard the gospel of His grace, and have not believed in Jesus as their Saviour, these words will be true of them,
Thank God, the opportunity to be saved is still here, but at any moment it may be over for you.
