21, verses 28-32. 18
It was on Thursday of passion week! IJ
that. Jesus stood in the temple and I m
uttered the language of the text, j B
The "scribes and . pharisees were dis- Q
pleased with Jesus and sought toj
bring charges against Him. - Thzyj
propounded to Him hard questions,! 0
but He was always master ox the sit
uation. The Church is the vineyard.
God assigns to each his task. The
noblest men are those who work. The
religion of the Lord Jesus is a relig
ion of GO. "Go work today in my
vineyard." There are millions who
wilj not come to us to hear the Gos
pel, hence we must go to them. The
preacher mu3t not stand back, the
Church must not be at ease. We must
not stand and ask why certain ones
do not go to church and Sunday school
and prayermeeting. That is not the
question. We lmust go to them.
Time is important, as well . as the
Tphere of duty. TODAY. Tomor
row the one you ought to go to may
be bevend vour reach. "Now istJod
time; His spirit is moving the hearts
! of sinners now. Our minds have
been clouded about so many things.
I and it may be that we are also wrong
about our conception of the judgment,
which may be tomorrow. Many are
like one cr the other of the two sons.
Sometimes sinners are cenvicted by
their own stern refusal. There are
those who make profession, 'Start" to
serve God, but postpone. The sin
ner may renent of his sin and God is
willing: to save him. If you have re
fused to perform your Christian du
t.y there is still a chance for you to
go into the vineyard and work. How
many have promised, made the sacred
vows, and have fcrgottenl How many
