LEONARD WARR Victoria St.-Benrniller Charge Repentance and .remission • "Except ye repent, ye shall. • all likewise perish" Luke 13:3 "Behold ,the Lamb of God • who taketh away the sin of the world" John 1:29 • • We live in an age when people love to gloss over sin; . but the inspired' Word of God makes it • ' very clear that man must. numb y adnllt,, his guilty condition; turn to the Lord Jesus Christ. for forgiveness; and receive new life 'as a gift of His grace. -'Repentance is therefore an indispensable and universal need. Dr. William Evans, when still a student at the Moody Bible Institute,�•began talking to a man at the Pacific Garden Mission about his soul. The man argued, "I don't believe the Bible, I'rn an athiest." Evans, knowing the Word of God never returns void, insisted on repeating one verse over and over to him: "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." The un1 eliever scoffed, "I told you` I don't believe' the Bible." But undaunted Evans-. quoted Luke 13:3. The ati lest became exasperated and shouted, "You disgusting fellow, what's the use in telling me that again and again? •In anger he struck the young -man; between the eyes with his fist,' but God gave the student • grace to hold his temper. Getting up from the • street, be retrieved his Bible and said, P"EXCEPT AYE- REPENT, µ yE SHALL ALL Ll ISE PERISH." The - walked away in a rage. The next night, however, the ethiest was at the Pacific Garden Mission long before the . meeting was scheduled to open. He confessed' to, the superintendent, "I was nbt able to sleep last night; all over the walls in my room I seemed to read; `Except ye "repent, ye shall all likewise perish.' When I got up the same words were ringing in shy ears at the breakfast_ • table, and all through the day -they have troubled me, I have come back tonight to settle it all with'the- Lord." s Repent and turn! Now• is the hour, -. {: .The time of God's redeeming' , power; Tomorrow it may be too late To ' enter blest salvation gate! The Scriptures clearly state that without the shedding of blood there' is no remission for sin (Hebrews 9:22). - , ' As we study. the Old, tht Ab1 recognized this truth for • he sacrificed ,a • lamb...-. typical of Testament, we see a e the coming Messiah -•� to. atone for himself alone. In similar • fashion, Noah looked at a .lamb upon an...aleant mythology here) for entire family.. The • his n r ,Y captive people of God' in• Egypt took a lamb ` :for a household. Later. -in-the-wilderness-Israel sacrificed one lamb for the salvation of the whole Nation. In the New Testament, John the Baptist bring our "spiritual attention to focus upon the true Lamb of fulfillment -.the Lord Jesus Christ - for ' by His sacrifice.. and atoning merits, He takes away "the sin of :the world:" Still today, all Who' ook to Him in faith finds salvation and cleansing. It is said 'that the shortest sermon the great preacher Charles Haddon Spurgeon evdt' preached- consisted A of -the recitation of those blessed words in John 1;29. He had been commissioned to conduct special services in the Crystal" Palace in London, where it was arranged that he should- use the Surrey Gardens pulpit. t� day or two before he was to preach, he decided ,to test the acoustical properties 'of the building. Thinking the auditorium empty, he spoke in a loud voice, "Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh- away the sin of .the' world!"
