IL To IHOSe from WnOf1 ne 0aQ re-
ceived it and besought them to take
it back saying, l have betrayed an In
nocent man., and when they refused,
he hanged himself. His sin soon found
him out. and men today who point
the finger of scorn at Judas are do
ing Judas-like things by turning their
backs upon Christ, for as little as he
did, and as sure as his sin found him
out, just SO surely will it find you out
sooner or later.
But Biblical history alone does not
furnish the only Illustrations of the
text. Indeed our own lives do. Just
take a look back and you will not
have to go far until you will remem-
Der how your wrong doing found you
out. Then look around you, and you
will see illustrations on every hand.
Pick up a daily paper and the text in
every column. AS l said last even
ing, no matter what your views may
be concerning Christianity, we are
talking now as then, regarding facts
that are facts.
The truth is. we are living in the
days when sin is being Winked at. ex-
cused, White-washed and looked upon
as amounting to little after ALL when
the most awful fact in the world is
sin. 1t was sin which drove our first
parents from the garden, and through
them. as indicated. cursed the whole
world. 1t is sin which blasts life
and wrecks home. 1t was sin which
nailed our Saviour to the cross. 1t Is
sin, unrepented of and therefore un-
forgiven that damns and dooms souls.
Oh, be sure your sin will find you
out
But, as I'VE have said SO many times
during this campaign, we turn now to
the bright side. If could not do that
on the authority of Gods word.
would quit preaching. While it is true
that no man can cover his sin. 1t Is
just as true that the word of God
says: Blessed is he whose trans
gression Is forgiven, whose sin is COW
cred which means that the sinner
who confesses his sin to God for Christ
sake, may have, them born away and
covered by the blood of Jesus IT
means that 1t will be removed as far
as the east is from the west 1t
means that when God forgives he also
forgets. It means that when I re-
ceived him as my sin bearer the
words of the poet become Immediately
true:
Dear, so very dear to God, dearer
cannot Re.
For In the person of his son, am
just as dear as He.
Near, so very near to God, nearer ]
cannot be-,
For in the person OF His son, am
just as near as He.'"
