A gentleman standing by Niagara Falls
saw an eagle swoop down upon a frozen lamb encased
in a floating piece of ice. The eagle stood upon it
as it was “drifting” on toward the rapids. Every now
and again the eagle would proudly lift his head into
the air to look around him, as much as to say, “I
am ‘drifting’ on toward danger, but I know what I
am doing; I will fly away and make good my escape
before it is too late.”
When he heard the falls he stopped and
spread his powerful wings and leaped for his flight;
but alas! alas! while he was feasting on that dead
carcass his feet had frozen to its fleece. He
leaped and shrieked and beat upon the ice with his
wing until the ice, the frozen lamb, and the
eagle all went over the falls and down into the chasm
and darkness below.
This is a real picture of every one
who has begun to live his life, enjoying all that
it has to offer without thinking of the eternal destiny
ahead, intending to stop before he goes too far. But
he is too busy feasting on the carcass of sin until
it is too late to repent and turn to Jesus for salvation.
And with a fearful cry, “TOO LATE,”
he falls into hell where he will be tormented for
ever and ever.
The Bible has good news for you.
It tells you: “..behold, now
is the accepted time, behold now
is the day of salvation”. 2 Corinthian 6:2
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
and thou shalt be saved”. Acts 16:30, 31.
Do it today before it is too
late!
