September 25th -- Luke 18

TREASURE IN HEAVEN

THE crisis will come at last and it may come any moment. The slave of instinct has to give it up and everything. He has to lie down and die; he has to take time to do that, although he could spare so little for Christ; and then where are the wealth and the honour, and all the fine things that he has set his heart upon? All gone; nothing left behind -- absolutely nothing! He goes to corruption; he descends to the grave without a hope. Having laid up no treasure in Heaven, he is buried a spiritual bankrupt, for whom there is no prospect but tribulation and wrath and anguish. That is a fine harvest for a man to reap! That is a fine result for a man to work so hard, and so diligently and so skilfully for! Dangerous! dangerous! dangerous! to put off Christ with the idea that we are going to do differently "by-and-by." We don't know whether we will have a "by-and-by" to do different in. The only time we can reckon upon is the present; and that time is not our own at all if we are Christ's.

ROBERT ROBERTS, Seasons of Comfort, page 66
