*The Tragedy of Knowledge Without Zeal*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."* (Matthew 10:28 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Charlie Peace was a criminal. Laws of God or man curbed him not. Finally the law
caught up with him, and he was condemned to death.
On the fatal morning in Armley
Jail, Leeds, England, he was taken on the death-walk. Before him went the prison
chaplain, routinely and sleepily reading some Bible verses.
The criminal touched the
preacher and asked what he was reading. ‘‘The Consolations of Religion,’’ was the
reply. Charlie Peace was shocked at the way he professionally read about hell.
Could a
man be so unmoved under the very shadow of the scaffold as to lead a fellow-human
there and yet, dry-eyed, read of a pit that has no bottom into which this fellow must fall?
Could this preacher believe the words that there is an eternal fire that never consumes
its victims, and yet slide over the phrase without a tremor?
Is a man human at all who
can say with no tears, ‘‘You will be eternally dying and yet never know the relief that
death brings’’?
All this was too much for Charlie Peace. So he preached. Listen to his
on-the-eve-of-hell sermon.
‘‘Sir,’’ addressing the preacher, ‘‘if I believed what you and the church of God say
that you believe, even if England were covered with broken glass from coast to coast, I
would walk over it, if need be, on hands and knees and think it worthwhile living, just
to save one soul from an eternal hell like that!’’
My reader, because the Church has lost Holy Ghost fire, men go to hell-fire! We need
a vision of a holy God. God is essentially holy. The cherubim and seraphim were not
crying, ‘‘Omnipotent! Omnipotent is the Lord!’’ nor ‘‘Omnipresent! and Omniscient! is
the Lord,’’ but ‘‘Holy! Holy Holy!’’
This vast Hebrew concept needs to penetrate our
souls again. If I make my bed in hell, if I take the wings of the morning—yet He is there.
_MEDITATION:_
*"God compasses us in time; God, the inescapable God, awaits us in eternity. We had
better be at peace with Him here, and be in the center of His will now!"*
