Jeremiah 8:20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. I. GOD HAS SPECIAL SEASONS FOR CONVEYING SPECIAL GIFTS. 1. In nature. Must sow in spring, or season lost. Must gather in harvest time, or fruit spoilt. 2. In the spiritual kingdom. Youth. Sabbath. Days of affliction and bereavement. II. THESE SPECIAL SEASONS OUGHT TO BE IMPROVED. 1. Men improve the natural seasons. 2. Spiritual realm. God has done His part: Atonement made; Spirit given. We must repent, believe, abandon evil, fight the good fight, etc. III. THESE SPECIAL SEASONS SPEEDILY PASS. Life short. Health uncertain. Refusal of mercy today may be irreparable ruin. IV. SPECIAL SEASONS OF GRACE MISUSED END IN UNSPEAKABLE RUIN. Past feeling. Conscience seared. (J. D. Davies, M. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.WEB: The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. |
