I WELL remember when I was staying in the town of Bolton, a young man whom I knew became very, very sick. We had often spoken to him about his soul, and had, urged him to take Jesus as his Saviour. But his answer had always been, “Time enough yet.”
My dear young friends, there is terrible danger in delay. Satan is the one who whispers in your ear and tells you to be saved at some later time.
The young man’s illness at last came to a fearful crisis and he was very sick, moaning in pain and fever; but the fever of his soul caused him more anguish than his bodily pain. A friend leaning over his bed, said to him,
“If you ever needed a Saviour, it is now. He is willing to save you, even now.”
“Oh, I have put off seeking Jesus too long.”
His friend begged him to look to Jesus, who suffered on Calvery that poor sinners might be saved, but he answered with groans and cries.
“Too late, too late; there is no rest for me. I am going some place, I know not where.” His head fell back upon his pillow and he was gone.
Dear reader, may the Spirit of God awaken you to feel your need of accepting the Saviour at once. This may be the last Sunday School paper you will ever read, and God is inviting you to accept the Lord Jesus as your Saviour NOW.
