Dr. A. J.
Gordon tells of two sisters who were very near and dear to one another. One
was a Christian, and the other was not The Christian girl was constantly seeking
to lead the unbelieving one to the Lord Jesus Christ. One night she persuaded
her to attend church service with her. The minister preached from Matthew 24,
where It says that when Jesus comes in the air to call His sons from the
earth one will be taken and the other left. He preached a stirring sermon.
The Christian girl hoped very much that the sermon would lead her sister to
salvation; but the unbelieving one did not seem to be impressed by what had
been said. The two girls slept together. That night the Christian one was so
burdened for her sister that she could not sleep. She crept from the bed and
went into another room to pray. In the meantime the unsaved girl awoke, and
missing her sister wondered where she was. As she lay there, the sermon being
uppermost in her thought, she wondered if her Christian sister had been
taken. The horror of having been left behind made such an impression on her
that she cried to the Lord for salvation. Such a scene will be a reality --
one will be taken and one will be left! |
