VII.--Those who are strong to sin shall burn in a fire hotter than their
lusts, and more quenchless than their hatred to goodness (verses 28 and
31.)
VII. LEAPING AND PRAISING.
ACTS iii, 8.
Little did the lame man's friends think that this was the last time they
should ever carry their dear one to the spot where he begged his bread.
Perhaps you have offered your last prayer to-day for some one's
salvation. He may come home to say, "Carry me no more, but let me walk
with you to heaven."
No one could blame the poor fellow for being excited. He had never
walked before, and the delight he felt made him use his new found
strength. You see he has dropped his crutches. Anyone could light the
fire with them now, he needed them not. Reader, do you still use
spiritual crutches? Why not look for the fulfilment of the prophet's
words, "Then shall the lame man leap as an hart."
