“The soul that sinneth, it shall die” (Ejek. 18:4)
Some times unexpected losses come to us. We read in II Kings 4:38, that suddenly there was a great famine. There was no grain anywhere, because there was no rain. There was great barrenness and no crops and the people had to go here and there to gather something for food. They had no rice, wheat or vegetables. They lived upon herbs.
The very same condition exist even now in the world. On the one hand, people are boasting of worldly education, wealth, and advancement. On the other hand, they are rotting in filth and defilement in sinful places. How much time they spend in cinemas and evil places. How much time they spend reading filthy magazines which they carry about with them.
When these men, in II Kings 4:39, went into the jungle to gather herbs, they saw some wild wines. ‘We have found something wonderful. We are going to have a nice meal’, they said as cooked it. But, when the food was being served and they began to eat, some wise men discovered something wrong with the food. So he cried, ‘Oh man of God, there is death in the pot’.
‘We are about to die because we have eaten poison. Please help us now. In a few minutes we are going to die’. At his command they brought some flour and he put it into the pot, and effect of the poison was taken away. The Lord Jesus Christ said , ‘ I am the bread of life, and by eating Me ye shall live for ever’. This is the only bread that can taken away the poison in your life caused by sin.
Today’s calendar’s Bible verse:
“If thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God.” John.11:40.
