“Likewise [like Paul], when we preach today, we should hear the footsteps of Jesus approaching. We should realize that He could come before we finish that sermon. We should hear the gavel of the Judge that will consign our listeners to an eternity in heaven or in hell. And we must remember that our message has the power to rescue them from ruin on that fearsome day.”
