March 13 | Morning

0:00March 13th, Morning Why are we sitting here until we die? Second Kings, Chapter 7, Verse 3 Dear Reader, this little book was mainly intended for the edification of believers, but if you are still unsaved, we are concerned for you. And we would like to say something that would be helpful to you. Open your Bible and read this story of the lepers, and note their position which was similar to yours. If you remain where you are, you must perish. If you go to Jesus, you will live. Nothing ventured, nothing gained is the old proverb, and in your case, the venture is not great. If you sit still in sullen despair, no one can pity you when your ruin comes. But if

1:01you were to die seeking mercy, if such a thing were possible, you would be the object of universal sympathy. None escape who refused to look to Jesus. But you know that others are saved who believe in Him. For certain, of your own friends and neighbours have received mercy. So why not you? Why not taste and see that the Lord is merciful? To perish is so awful that if you could only clutch at a straw, the instinct of self-preservation should lead you to stretch out your hand. We want to assure you, as from the Lord, that if you seek Him, you will find Him. Jesus cast out none who come unto Him. You shall not perish if you trust Him. On the contrary, you shall find treasure far richer than what the poor lepers gathered in serious deserted camp. May the Holy Spirit embolden you to go at once, and you shall not believe in vain. Then, when you are saved, share the good news

2:04with others. Do not halt back. Tell your friends at church first and join with them in fellowship. Let the watchman of the city, the pastor, be informed of your discovery, and then proclaim the good news in every place. May the Lord God save you before the sun goes down this day.
