ON BORROWED TIME
Yet You Do Not Hear
175My eye runs down with grief when I think of some of you who listen to my voice year after year, and yet do not hear. You hear me, but not my Master. Alas! How many have been the arrows out of God’s bow which I have shot at you? Have they not been wasted? They have rattled upon your armor, but they have not pierced your hearts. I can say solemnly I have sometimes stood in this pulpit and have labored with your souls to the best of my power, and I have felt that I would have cheerfully resigned all I had on earth if I might but have brought you to Christ. Oh, I must have you saved! I must have you lay hold on eternal life! I must see you look to Jesus!
