0274. WAITING FOR THE DEAD.

WAITING FOR THE DEAD.

Jdg_5:28.

It is a very sad picture that we have before us here. Sisera’s mother sitting wearily watching at the window for the coming of one who was already lying cold in death in the tent of Heber’s wife. She was waiting for one who would never come. Vain waiting-waiting for the dead. The cause of her vain waiting is the cause why so many still wait in vain-want of a knowledge of the truth. You are waiting for the dead-

1. If you are waiting to get Peace with God without the Blood of Jesus (Col_1:20).

2. If you are waiting for Salvation without Believing on the Son (Joh_3:36; Eph_2:8)

3. If you are waiting to Feel Saved before you Come to Christ. The woman touched Him before she felt healed (Mar_5:27).

4. If you are waiting for Power without Receiving the Fulness of the Holy Spirit (Act_1:8). All power is in Him. He doeth the work.

5. If you are waiting for Promotion without being Faithful where you are (1Sa_16:12).

6. If you are waiting for the Conversion of the World before the Coming of the King (Luk_19:12; Isa_2:2; Zec_2:10).

7. You are not waiting for the dead if you are waiting for the Son from Heaven (1Th_1:10; Act_1:11). Though He tarry, wait.
