God's Great Gift of Eternal Life will be what we shall want then, and if we have refused to take it all our life from His hands, how do we know that we shall receive it from Him then? God will not offer His gift for ever. It is insulting His love and goodness to refuse to take it, to despise it, to be indifferent to it now. Stretch out your hand, lay hold of Eternal Life! And you will thank God for ever and ever for His wonderful Gift.
"The wages of sin is death, but the Free Gift of God is Eternal Life."

To Be Ready
"Be ye therefore ready
also, for the Son of
Man cometh at an hour
when ye think not."

[CHAT VII]
To Be Ready
"Be ye therefore ready also, for the Son
of Man cometh at an hour when ye think
not."
(Luke 12.40)
WHAT is it to be ready? To be prepared.
We don't like unpunctual people. Some children are always late for meals and late for school. But we lose pleasure sometimes by being late. By not being ready. Suppose a rich uncle comes to take you out for the day. He is going to take you into the country by a certain train. You are not ready when he comes for you, you lose the train, and he is so angry that he says he won't take you out at all. You lost your treat by not being ready for it.
