And now, for the first time in my life, I knew the Bible was the Word of God, really; and His word to me, too,—sinner as I was. What a different Book it now became to me. A revelation from God! "God, who caused the light to shine out of darkness," giving me His thoughts—His mind! Oh! how precious, "Sweeter than honey and the honeycomb." "Who by searching can find out God?" None, but He reveals Himself; not demanding but giving—not cursing, but saving, in His own matchless and measureless grace, every poor sinner who bows to the name of Jesus. Yet how sad, how appalling, that, notwithstanding this, man despises God. Think of this, ye careless and indifferent souls. Surely if He speaks His words claim, yea, demand, your attention. Stoop! I pray thee; hearken to the sweet tones spoken by your Savior God. He tells thee of sin put away—of judgment passed. He tells thee of a risen, glorified man in Heaven (once the despised and rejected) who has settled everything that stood against the sinner. Be the past never so black, be the past never so vile, He invites thee; think of it; God invites thee to be reconciled to Him. Will you not, now, own His love, His saving grace? Look to it, I pray you, that you despise it not! "Now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation." Come with a simple, teachable mind to the word of God; drink in His thoughts and make them your own. How blessed this! "Lord! I know nothing—wilt Thou teach me?" He never denied a needy soul. He satisfieth every living soul. He will tell thee what thou art. He will tell thee what His Son has done, and thy heart shall overflow with love and praise to thy Savior God. And this song, which now thou lispest with weakness, is the same eternal song of praise which, ere long, thou shalt join in that bright scene where thy Savior is J. W. C.
