What a moment in the world’s history! The crucifixion of the Saviour marks the great dividing point of history. From that day to this the cross of Christ separates the inhabitants of the world into two distinct groups.
This world crucified Christ, but many, confessing their sin, have found mercy and forgiveness. No one can be neutral. You must either accept or reject the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord.
On which side of the cross are you? You are either on the side of the thief who rejected the Lord Jesus, or on the side of the one who repented and said, “Lord, remember me.”
Which?
This may be it! This may be the last gospel message that you will ever have the opportunity to read. This may be your last chance to read the good news that “Christ died for our sins” (1 Corinthians 15:3). This could be your last precious opportunity to read about Him “who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree” (1 Peter 2:24).
This may be it—the last choice that you will ever make. I do not know—I cannot tell. I hope not, I pray not, but I don’t know.
This grim uncertainty as to life is a terrifying thing without Christ. You cannot know from one hour to another that you may not suddenly be struck down. Death always rides with life.
Is this an old story to you—often heard, but never listened to? Whose fault is that? And who has continued to give you this precious lease on life so that you might hear the story of God’s love time and time again? Can you once again refuse the invitation: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved”?
You may throw it away. You may forget it. BUT—this may be it! This may be the last time.
“He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.” If this be the last time, there is no remedy!
This may be it! I do not know. I hope not, but who knows—except God?
