FRANZ LISZT was a famous pianist and composer. Even when he was a very old man he played so wonderfully that people went hundreds of miles to hear him.
When Liszt played the piano everybody had to be perfectly quiet. If anyone talked or whispered Liszt would stop playing.
One evening he was playing at the court of the Tzar of Russia. After a while the Tzar began to talk to someone. Liszt heard the Tzar talking and he quit playing, even though the Tzar was such a mighty monarch. There was a dead silence, and then the Tzar asked Liszt why he had quit playing. Liszt could not rebuke the great ruler of Russia so he cleverly replied, "We must all be silent when your Majesty speaks."
Now a greater than the Tzar of Russia has spoken to us — even God Himself and we must all be silent and listen to what He has to say to us, for in Romans 3 we read that we are all sinners, "for all have sinned," "there is none righteous no not one," and we have nothing to say for ourselves — "that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world become guilty before God."
In times past God spoke to people through the prophets, but in these last days He has spoken unto us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds (Heb. 1:1,21God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (Hebrews 1:1‑2)). Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, He has died upon the cross for sin, and God will pardon all who believe on Him as their Saviour. If one refuses God's great gift of salvation, one day he shall stand before the great white throne and hear God speak those awful words of judgment which will consign the sinner to the lake of fire forever.
Let all be wise and listen to Gods' message of love and be saved by trusting in Jesus, His dear Son, for salvation.
