3. Father, as we think about this, it is so overwhelming to us that words fail. We look at our own lives, first of all, and we’re just overwhelmed with gratitude. We feel like bursting into a doxology of praise to thank you for saving us. At the same time, Lord, we feel so grieved, distressed deep down, sick at our stomachs to contemplate the terrible end of the ungodly.

   No wonder the apostle John, in seeing this, felt bitterness in his stomach. No wonder Paul said, “Knowing the terror of the Lord, we persuade men.” Oh, God, how can we hold back? How can we not call men to repentance? How can we not plead with sinners to avoid the judgment? If we can, we are indeed callous, cold, uncaring, not at all like Christ, who sat over Jerusalem and wept because they were lost. And not at all like you, for you cried through the eyes of Jeremiah at lost people.

   We thank you you’ve made it possible and that you offer any sinner who will acknowledge his guilt a pardon and a resurrection of life rather than a resurrection to the great white throne. May these truths sink deep into us and give us a fresh new zeal for those outside who are headed for such a terrible, terrible future.

   Give us opportunity, O God. Open doors and hearts so that we can share the pardon that is available in Christ. We ask these things in your great name, Jesus Christ, Amen.
