“Jesus is ‘the stone you builders
rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ Salvation is found in no one else,
for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be
saved.” (Acts 4:11-12 NIV)
Some are foolish enough to put their
confidence in ministers. I cannot even save myself; what can I do for others?
There died in London not long ago a tradesman of much wealth. When he came near
to death, though I had never seen the man in my life, he importunately asked
for me. I could not go. My brother went to see him, and after setting before
him the way to salvation, my brother inquired, “What made you wish to see my
brother?”
“Well,” he said, “whenever I have a
doctor, I always like to get the best. And when I employ a lawyer, I like the
man high in the profession. Money is no object. I want the best possible help.”
I shuddered at being so regarded. The
best help he could get! The best is nothing -- less than nothing, and vanity.
What can we do for you if you will not have the Savior? We can stand and weep
over you, and break our hearts to think that you reject Him, but what can we
do?
-- Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892), from “Spurgeon at His Best”
