To you who are unsaved, the word “resurrection” has no music—when you hear that the body shall rise again—yes, that the soul and body shall live and Christ shall sit in judgment. Think not when your body is put into the soil you have done with it. You cannot cast away or set aside God’s own revelation—the Bible—which tells so clearly that small and great shall rise when the Archangel’s trump shall sound. Yes, then from the Church Yard, the Sea, and the Battle-field, thousands upon thousands who have slept, all will awake and be there, at that Great Judgment seat—that “great and terrible day—” as it is called. Unsaved Sinner, think what then will be your position—unless in life, you had claimed the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour. Then His words will come to mind:
“Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.”
Proverbs 1:28-33
