Millions who have rejected the Christian gospel have generally been too busy and too involved to ask themselves a simple question: “What really is God’s intention toward me?” They could have found the plain and simple answer given by the Apostle John: “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” This is a gravely significant message from the heart of God Himself! Yet even in the full light it provides, people are indifferent. Upon our eyes there seems to have fallen a strange dimness within our ears, a strange dullness. It is a wonder, and a terrible responsibility that we should have this message in our possession and be so little stirred about it! I confess that it is very hard for me to accept the fact that it is now very rare for anyone to come into the house of God silently confessing, “Dear Lord, I am ready and willing to hear what you will speak to me today!”
