Could it be you?

I acknowledge my transgressions. (Psalm 51:3)

In one of his sermons the great preacher Charles Spurgeon said: "I have known some who preached the Gospel with power, but lived to depart from it altogether. I have known some who discharged the duties of deaconship and eldership with considerable diligence, who have afterwards given way to their evil passions. I have thought some of them to be... the holiest of men. While they have been praying I have been lifted up... to the very gates of heaven; If anyone had said... these would one day fall into gross sin, I would not have believed it. I would sooner have believed it of myself. Those who seemed stronger than we ......have fallen! What about me then… weak as I am!

Our Lord's disciples who sat at the table with Him, when they were told that one of them would betray their Master, each enquired: 'Lord, is it I?' That was a very proper question. There was not one who asked, 'Lord, is it Judas?' Probably not one of them suspected him.

And it may be that the worst hypocrite in this assembly... is the one upon whom there does not rest at this moment a single shade of suspicion. He has learned to play his part so well that his true character has not yet been discovered."

If those words describe you.... Run to the arms of Jesus.

Don't walk. Run!

Run to the One Who loves you with full knowledge of your sins and struggles, whose blood can cleanse you, whose grace can lift you, and whose power can help you to live an overcoming life.

Remember: Every Saint has a past, Every Sinner has a future!
