VI. Rev. 6:16. “Hide us … from the wrath of the Lamb”
1. What a paradox—the wrath of the Lamb!
Yet it is He who once said: “Come unto Me, all ye that labour,” Who will then say: “Depart from Me, ye cursed.”
2. Perfect mercy and perfect justice meet in Him.
Perfect mercy now.
Perfect justice then;
Yet tempered with mercy.
3. But how terrible will He be to the wicked!
They will long to hide from Him, but will be unable.
Justice must take its course.
4. If we seek Him as the Lamb of GOD now Who taketh away our sins, we shall not be afraid to stand before Him at His coming.
Resolutions.—I will seek after GOD now, while I have the time.
I will make special preparation for death and judgment at certain seasons.
Text.—“Be ye ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh.”
