And now I'll tell of the last blessed consequences of the Saviour's death. He went again to heaven to plead the merits of his precious death for man. By his intercession, God, the Holy Spirit, again came down and dwelt upon this earth, and he is to be with us always, even to the end of the world. By his grace our hearts are to be changed. If you, dear children, have his grace, your hearts will be changed also: you will hate sin and pray against it, and he will make you very humble, loving, tender, and universally good.

O, that there was but such a heart in you! You cannot be happy while you live, you cannot be happy when you die, you cannot be happy in eternity, unless you go to this blessed Jesus to save your precious souls. Why should you delay? What sin can be so lovely as the love of Christ? O, think of this, and let me, as your sincere friend, intreat you to turn and live: live to God in time, and you shall live with him to all eternity!

Very soon Jesus will come again to judgment, then shall the wicked see him and be

terrified, and curse the day that ever they were born: but the righteous will be glad at his appearing, for God shall come to wipe all tears from their eyes, and drive all sorrows from their hearts: and Jesus himself, who hath loved them, and washed them from their sins in his own blood, and made them kings and priests to God and his Father, shall say, 66 Come ye blessed children of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world."
