Sharpened Arrows 1 Corinthians 16:22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. After Joan of Arc had won the great victory at Orleans, and made clear the way for Charles the Seventh to be crowned king, she was taken prisoner, and subjected to the most brutal treatment at the hands of her enemies; still her ungrateful king refused to make a single move to liberate the one who had freed his subjects, and made him heir and king. My unsaved friend, you are doing the same thing. As you read the simple narrative, you doubtless will say, "King Charles was ungrateful, and deserved punishment." Yet Jesus Christ left His heavenly home, came down to earth, suffered, and died that you might be crowned the "child of a King," and you refuse to even acknowledge Him. Should the anger of God consume you, could you say aught in your defence? (Sharpened Arrows.)
