After this the judgment where will you spend eternity?
It was a procession day. Crowds of people lined the streets. Banners were hung out of the windows bearing various mottos, in keeping with the great celebrations of the day. At the end of the street leading up to his father’s house, Ben stood with his banner also. There were few, if any, of the banners of that day, that were looked at so eagerly as Ben’s. The others spoke of Time: Ben’s of Eternity.
The many mottos and devices fluttering in the breeze, proclaimed the deeds of men, and their wonderful skill. Ben’s banner reminded them of what comes after all—the Judgment.
I could not but admire the dear boy as he stood there hour after hour, while thousands passed by, with a happy smile on his face, delighted that he was able to thus bear testimony to the Lord Jesus. Ben knew Jesus. He trusted Him, when quite a little boy, and his heart was happy in His love. Now his delight was to tell others of Him, and it was this that brought him out with his banner, and his school satchel full of Gospel Tracts that day.
One at least confessed that he never could forget the question on Ben’s banner. It followed him night and day, till he was converted. Look what the question is, and see if you can answer it, reader. “Where will you spend Eternity?” Solemn is’nt it. Eternity—that wonder full word! It means for ever. For ever in glory with Christ, or for ever in the lake of fire. Do you ever think in which of theses two, your eternity will be spent? All who believe in Christ as their Saviour now will be in glory hereafter. So you may easily know. Are you in Christ?
