"Why can't they let us alone? They never come to the house without tormenting us about our souls, and I don't understand the idea behind it all." So said a proud, unconverted young man to his mother. Possibly you have thought the same thing, even if you have not said it.
Now, shall I tell you why we do not let you alone, why we speak to you, and why we write to you? It is because we see you standing upon the slippery brink of everlasting hell, heedless of your danger!
You live as though there were no God to meet, no sins to answer for, no hell to shun, and no heaven to reach. How can we let you alone? We would be heartless if we did.
"Let us alone!" So said the poor, devil-possessed sinnerto the Lord Jesus in the days of old, as mentioned in Mark 1:2424Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. (Mark 1:24). But Jesus did not let him alone, and the unclean spirit had to come out.
Just think of one in such terrible misery saying to the only One who could deliver him and who came for that purpose—"Let us alone!" And yet men follow his example.
Friend, if you are still unsaved, thank God that you have a body not yet in the grave and a soul not yet in hell, and do not say to Him any longer: "Let us alone," or He may answer your prayer.
