He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent
me. . . shall not come into judgment. (John 5:24)
In a prairie fire, when the wind is strong, the wall of
flame often rolls along twenty feet high, destroying man and beast in its
onward rush. The frontiersmen know they cannot run as fast as that fire. Not
the fleetest horse can escape it. But they just take a match, and light the
grass before them. These flames sweep a space, and men follow and take their
stand in the burned district, and are safe.
Over the place where they stand the fire has already
passed, and there is nothing left to burn. So there is one spot on earth that
the judgment of God has swept over. Eighteen hundred years ago the storm burst
on Calvary; and the Son of God endured it: and now, if we take our stand by the
Cross, we are safe for time and for eternity.
