“He Will Not Rest.”
Suppose a man is going to Cincinnati, and he gets on the cars, but he feels uneasy lest, the train will take him to St. Louis instead of his destination. He will not rest till he knows he is on the right road, and the idea that we are on the road to eternity as fast as time can take us, and do not know our destination, is contrary to Scripture. If we want peace we must know it, and we can know it; it is the Word of God. Look What Peter says: “We know we have an incorruptible dwelling.” Then in Paul’s epistle to the Colossians, i., 12, “Giving thanks unto the Father which hath made us meet”—hath made us, not going to—”to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. Who hath delivered us”—not going to deliver us, but He hath delivered us: this is an assurance—”from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son.”
