THE Lord is coming into the air to call His Church up to himself. Look up towards the sky, right there He is coming to take up from the earth everybody whose sins are washed away in His precious blood. What a lot of people will leave this world then, even those who were dead in Christ will be raised up alive again to meet their Saviour in the air. No holiday trains nor boats have ever borne away such a number of joyous people as will leave THAT day.
But, do you know what I was thinking of? The little tracts and books and leaflets we shall leave behind, perhaps a package on the shelf not yet untied, some in a bag ready to take out, one lying neglected in some house where it was left, and so on. It will be too late then for them to be distributed. They would be of no use then. The day of grace will be over, the door shut. The loving invitation could not be accepted, the time would be past for those who have rejected the gospel.
Any reader of this little paper who has not accepted Christ Jesus as THEIR Saviour, do settle the matter now before it be TOO LATE. Come to Jesus now, before He utters those sad words: “I never knew you; depart from me.” (Matt. 7:2323And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (Matthew 7:23).) Now, He says “COME.”
