The reader may be a young man or a young lady who has recently stood
by the bedside of a dying mother; and she may have said, "Be sure and
meet me in heaven," and you made the promise. Ah! you shall never see
her more, except you are born again. I believe Jesus of Nazareth,
sooner than those infidels who say you do not need to be born again.
Parents, if you hope to see your children who have gone before, you
must be born of the Spirit. Possibly you are a father or a mother who
has recently borne a loved one to the grave; and how dark your home
seems! Never more will you see your child, unless you are born again.
If you wish to be re-united to your loved one, you must be born
again. I may be addressing a father or a mother who has a loved one
up yonder. If you could hear that loved one's voice, it would say,
"Come this way." Have you a sainted friend up yonder? Young man or
young lady, have you not a mother in the world of light? If you could
hear her speak, would not she say, "Come this way, my son,"--"Come
this way, my daughter?" If you would ever see her more you must be
born again.
We all have an Elder Brother there. Nearly nineteen hundred years ago
He crossed over, and from the heavenly shores He is calling you to
heaven. Let us turn our backs upon the world. Let us give a deaf ear
to the world. Let us look to Jesus on the Cross and be saved. Then we
shall one day see the King in His beauty, and we shall go no more
out.
CHAPTER III.
_THE TWO CLASSES_.
"Two men went up into the temple to pray."--Luke xvii. 10.
I now want to speak of two classes: First, those who do not feel
their need of a Saviour who have not been convinced of sin by the
Spirit; and Second, those who are convinced of sin and cry, "What
must I do to be saved?"
All inquirers can be ranged under two heads: they have either the
spirit of the Pharisee, or the spirit of the publican. If a man
having the spirit of the Pharisee comes into an after-meeting, I know
of no better portion of Scripture to meet his case than Romans iii.
10: "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: there is
none that understandeth; there is none that seeketh after God." Paul
is here speaking of the natural man. "They are all gone out of the
way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth
good, no, not one." And in the 17th verse and those which follow, we
have "And the way of peace have they not known; there is no fear of
God before their eyes. Now we know what things soever the law saith,
it saith to them who are under the law; that every mouth may be
stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God."
