A beautiful song had just been sung by a young woman. The voice was as sweet as the words and music. It was exquisitely full and clear, and the song had been rendered with great pathos and power.
A devoted servant of Christ was present and he longed for her salvation. He knew that she was but living in pleasure and had not tasted the joys which were his.
Crossing over to her side he quietly remarked as he thanked her for her song, "You have a beautiful voice. But will you sing in eternity?”
It was a message from God to her. She could not forget it. Each song she sang served to remind her. At last, owning her need and wasted years, she was found a penitent in the presence of the Savior.
She now knew that she would sing in eternity. It would be at home in the Father's house with the Savior whose precious blood had cleansed her from her sins. She knew that He Himself would be her song as she joined the choir of the ransomed, saying: "Thou art worthy... for Thou wast slain and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood." Rev. 5:99And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; (Revelation 5:9).
Reader, will it be your happy portion to sing in the realms of the blest? Or will you be among those upon whom the sentence shall be passed: "Cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matt. 25:3030And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 25:30).
The Peril of Delay
"There is nothing more perilous than trusting to another day; all the more as to be once excluded is to be forever excluded.”
"Whosoever believeth
on Him
(Christ Jesus)
shall receive
remission of sins.”
