Now, one question: What are you going to do with Christ? You have got
to settle that question. You may get angry, like a man a short time
ago, who marched out of a church, saying, "What right has that
American to make such a statement?" But it is true; you must settle
it. Pilate wanted to shirk the responsibility, and sent Jesus to
Herod; but he was forced to a decision. When the Jews forced him to
decide, he washed his hands, and said he "was innocent of this just
man's blood." But did that take away his guilt? No.
An angel may be here, hovering over this audience, and he is listening
to what is said. Some one may say, "I will receive Him; I will delay
no longer." Immediately the angel will wing his way right up to the
pearly gates, and tell the news that another sinner has been saved.
There will be a new song ringing through the courts of heaven over
sinners repenting. God will issue the command to write down their
names in the book of life, and to get rooms ready for them in the new
Jerusalem, where we all will soon be.
