Fool away their souls
Back to CHOICE QUOTES
Christ made a very fair offer to the young man in the
Gospel, "Go and sell all that you have, and give to the poor,
and you shall have treasure in heaven," Matthew 19:21.
Here Christ offers . . .
heavenly treasures for earthly treasures,
unmixed treasures for mixed treasures,
perfect treasures for imperfect treasures,
satisfying treasures for unsatisfying treasures,
lasting treasures for fading treasures;
but the young man slips his opportunity, his season, and
goes away sorrowful, and we never read more of him.
Just so, there are many who trifle away their time, and
fool away their souls and their eternal salvation.
