Prodigal:  I am prepared in case of an emergency.

Me:  Good because we do not know what might happen.

 

This is from A. Bl Simpson

 

Sound the alarm through the earth and the heavens!

Summon the slumbering world to attend!

Jesus is coming!  the hour is impending!

Sound the alarm to earth’s uttermost end!

 

Sound the alarm in the ears of the sinner!

Haste, ere the time of probation be past!

Now is the day of salvation, improve it;

Mercy long lingers, but doom comes at last.

 

Sound the alarm to the slumbering Christian!

Are you prepared should the Bridegroom appear,

Oil in your vessels, your lamps trimmed and burning?

Brother, be ready, the Master is near.

 

Sound the alarm to the millions that wander

Out in the darkness of heathendom’s night!

Tell them the King of all kingdoms is coming;

Tell them of Jesus, and send them the light.

 

Sound the alarm to the scoffers and worldlings!

Look here ye mocked at His grace and His word.

“Look, ye despisers and wonder, and perish,

Where shall you hide in the day of the Lord?”

 

 

 

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures.

1 Corinthians 15:3
