Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.


I. God has done more for them than for others.

II. They have made promises to Him which others have not made.

III. God has made to them exceeding great and precious promises which He has not made to others.

IV. So much is expected of them, and such a great work is laid upon them, if "they sleep as do others," it will not be done.

V. While Christians sleep the enemy is busy — sinners perish — the world rushes madly to ruin!
