Charles Haddon Spurgeon 

March 13th — Morning Reading 

"Why sit we here until we die?" — 2 Kings 7:3 

Dear reader, this little book was mainly intended for the edification of believers, but if you are still unsaved, our heart yearns over you: and we would eagerly say a word which may be blessed to you. Open your Bible, and read the story of the lepers, and mark their position, which was much the same as yours. If you remain where you are you must perish; if you go to Jesus you can not die. "Nothing venture (a risky or daring journey), nothing win," is the old proverb, and in your case the venture is no great one. If you sit still in gloomy despair, no one can pity you when your ruin comes; but if you die with after seeking compassion, if such a thing were possible, you would be the object of everyone’s sympathy.  

None escape who refuse to look to Jesus; but you know that, at any rate, some are saved who believe in Him, for certain of your own acquaintances have received this mercy: then why not you?  

The Ninevites said, "Who can tell?" Act upon the same hope, and try the Lord's mercy. To perish is so awful, that if there were but a straw to catch at, your natural instincts should lead you to stretch out your hand. As a result of this, we have been talking to you on your own unbelieving ground, we would now assure you that if you seek Him, He will be found of you. Jesus casts out none who come unto Him. You shall not die if you trust Him.  You will find treasure far richer than the poor lepers gathered in Syria's deserted camp. The treasure they found was temporary for it was gold, silver and clothing.  

May the Holy Spirit encourage you to go at once, and you shall not believe in vain. When you are saved publish the good news to others. Hold not your peace; tell the King's household first, and unite with them in fellowship; let the porter (the one in charge) of the city, the minister, be informed of your discovery, and then proclaim the good news in every place. The Lord save you before the sun goes down this day.  Edited by Tammy Nichols for easy reading.
