A Brand From the
Burning
By REV. GEORGE E. GUILLE
Extension Department, Moody
Bible Institute, Chicago.
TEXT.—And he said unto Jesus, Lord,
remember me when thou comest into thy
kingdom. And Jesus said unto him. Ver
ily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be
with me in paradise.—Luke 23:42, 43.
There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day-
Centuries before the cross it had
been written of the Lord Jesus, “He
was numbered
with the trans
gressors”. We can
understand the
shame of crucifix
ion with criminals,
but the deeper
shame of His tak
ing the place of
criminals is be
yond all mortal
ken. But, “for
the joy that was
set before him” He
'“endured the cross,” and here we are
permitted to see Him tasting a little
of that joy before the cross is accom
plished. He Is to have some spoils
of His death before that death occurs.
How different the characters that
appear in Scripture as the subjects of
God’s grace. They range from the
very best of men, like Nicodemus and
the Italian Centurion, down to the
lowest of the vile, like the one before
us now. It would be difficult to find
a man in deeper depths of depravity
than this thief. Not only condemned
to die an ignominious death on account
of his crimes but while standing in the
very doorway of death, he reviled
the Son of God. But, low as he is,
he is not beyond the reach of the grace
and love displayed in that central
cross. He is just the one in whom
they can manifest their triumph.
A ray of divine light entered that
darkened soul and disclosed his own
lost estate and the glory of that Person
hanging by his side. The light of that
Presence has searched him through. A
sinner in the presence of the Savior!
The usual result! He confesses his
sin, owns the justness of his condemna
tion and the spotless humanity of the
Lord Jesus, bears this testimony in
the face of the hostile world, which,
led by its prince, is gathered there to
reproach God’s Son.
And thus, a self-confessed sinner,
he turns to Jesus with a prayer that
is at once a cordial for that fainting
heart: “Lord remember me when thou
comest into thy kingdom.”
He has seen it all! Has seen that this
is the long-promised Messiah, and that
though now He is dying yet He must
come back into Ills kingdom, accord
ing to all the prophets.
And this dying Messiah is a Savior,
for he could not be ignorant of the
meaning of that name: “Call his name
Jesus for he shall SAVE.” A sinner
with nothing but sin as his claim, has
cast himself upon the Savior. With
what result?
When did any sinner, malefactor
or moralist, turn to Jesus and not re
ceive far more than his faith dared
expect?
Far beyond the request of the poor
dying man does the Lord Jesus go, as
always in His delight to save, and, in
effect, He said: I’ll do far better for
you than that. You have not to wait
until I come back again. “Verily I
say unto. thee. Today shalt thou be
with me in paradise.” The believing
sinner has passed from death unto life
and the Savior’s soul is glad!
No questions are asked,, no words
of reproach are uttered, no reference
made to the recent blasphemy, no con
ditions are imposed. Without works,
except bad ones, without.external rites
of any kind, the dying thief is snatched
from the jaws of death by the Savior’s
eager hands. This is His glory! He
is seeking to save, and waits only for
the look or the cry of faith from, the
sinner that has learned his need of.
Him.
What a miracle of grace! A man
wholly unfit to live on earth Is in the
twinkling of eye, without question or
condition, made fit to associate with
the Son of God in paradise. And He
Is the name wonderworking Savior to
day, unchanged and unchanging. None
of His power to save is lacking. Still
He seeks and still glories to save. O
soul, give Him a chance with you.
Men like to say of this story of a
sipner saved at the gates of death:
“There was one such case that none
might despair, but only one that none
might presume.” Let us rather cay
that it Is just a pattern case of sal
vation. outlined in the clearest possible
way in connection with Jesus’ cross,
so that wherever the story of the cross
should be told, this story of what
happened there must be told too. It
is God’s own story. God help men to
hear!
Union of Prayer.
From the day of Pentecost, there
has been not one great spiritual
awakening, in any land, which has not
begun ixi a union of prayer, if only two
or three. No such outward, upward
movement has continued after such
prayer meetings have declined; and it
is in exact proportion to the mainte
nance of such point and believing sup
plication and intercession that the
word 0® .he Lord in any locality has
had free course and been glorified.—

ed that he had got a lawyer’s opinion.
When he reached home it was four in the af
ternoon; he was tired with his journey, and re
solved to have a good rest. It happened, how
ever, that his hay had been cut for some days,
and was now quite dry; and one of his men came
to ask if it should be carried into the barn that
night.
“This night.” cried the farmer’s wife. Who
ever heard of such a thing? Mr. Bertrand is
tired and the hay can just as well be brought in
tomorrow.”
The man said it was no business of his—but
the weather might change, and thehorses and
carts were ready, and the men were wishing to
know.
“Well, answered the wife, the wind is from the
west, and that doesn’t mean rain. And it is so
late no wthat you would have to work until night
No, I guess you’d better leave it until tomorrow.”
Bertrand, sitting half asleep in his, big chair
had heard all that was said. He was wonder
ing what to do when he suddenly remembered
the paper which the lawyer had given him.
“Stop a minute,” he cried. “I have got an op
inion—an opinion that cost me a dollar. Tht’s
the thi gnthing to put us straight. Here, wife,
you’re a grand schollar, read it and tell us what
it says.”
The wife took the paper and with some dificul
ty read these two lines:
“Peter Bertrand, never put off til tomorrow
what you can do today.”
“There’s the very thing!” cried the farmer.
“Quick! Hurry up with the men and horses and
the carts, and we’ll ahve hay in at once.”
“But, Peter, it will make sppper so late,” said
his wife.
“What’s supper when I have an opinion from
a lawyer? I am not going’ to pay a dollar for no
thing. I’m going to follow that opinion, np mat
ter what happens.
