with those who gladly bow the knee in
reverent worship. and joyfully confess
God as their Father and Christ as their
Saviour there will he gathered those
whose wills were never yielded to God
and whose hearts were never cleansed
from sin in Jesus blood. The knees of
such will bend in fear and the tongues
will confess in terror, but there will be
no room for repentance then. the day
of grace will have given place to the day
of judgment.
WHERE will you DO found. my
w friend, in that last great day?
Will you be with that white robsd
throng on the right hand whose knees
gladly bow and whose tongues eagerly
confess their Lord, or will you be with
those on the left hand, whose willful-
ness and rebellion can no longer keep
their knees from bending and their
tongues from acknowledging the Lord
of Heaven and earth: This is ques-
tion which must be decided in this life.
We may not delay it's answer. While
God calls: Look unto Me and be ye
saved" we may lift our eyes to Him and
IL
from Him and listen only to the allur.
ing music OF the world the day of grace
may pass for us and we be lost eternal
ly. AS Moses lifted up the serpent in the
wilderness and commanded the dying
Hebrews to look and live" even SC
has 1.-The Son OF Man been lifted up"
and God commands the soul dying from
the sting of sin to look unto Him and
be saved What is involved in this
blessed work of redeeming grace? On
mans part it implies need. a desper-
ate need. On Gods part it assures that
adequate provision has been made for
the supplying OF that need. God says
LOOK" because He has something for
man to look 20. Man must LOOK" be-
! cause there is salvation for him in no
other way. Note how solemnly God
enforces His command to LOOK -
For I am God. there is none else" No
other God. No other way of salvation
Let us consider what it is that God holds
before the eyes of the dying world and
why it is that the dying world must
needs look if it would see life eternal.
II we can only bring you. dear soul. to
realize what God has done for you. and
how you need the salvation which He
offers SO fully and freely. we know that
as the call comes to your heart from
God to LOOK" you will look and live
