I have a message from God unto you.
Judges 3:20
"Q: Is He your Creator?
Q: And has He who made you launched you forth on the tempestuous sea of life to drift in solitude without compass or guide?
You call Him, "Father," because He is the Author of your being.
Q: Can He be your Father and yet have no concern for your well-being—never have spoken to you, never have sent a message from His great Throne to your hearts?
--Some of them have come to you in golden type—their words have been sweet as honey.
--Other messengers have come to you draped in black.
--Another dark messenger has come to you. Death has bereaved you of friends and comrades.....Ah, then, when the dust fell upon the coffin lid, and the words were uttered, "Dust to dust, ashes to ashes," each of those thundering morsels said, "I have a message from God for you!"
Walk the cemetery and while every grave tells of our common
mortality, how some graves speak to us,
--Other messengers have come to you draped in black.
--Another dark messenger has come to you. Death has bereaved you of friends and comrades.....Ah, then, when the dust fell upon the coffin lid, and the words were uttered, "Dust to dust, ashes to ashes," each of those thundering morsels said, "I have a message from God for you!"
Walk the cemetery and while every grave tells of our common
Q: Do not you recollect the time when you heard the bell toll for a near relative, and when you stood over the open grave?
It cannot be that God has left the world—it must be that the world has left God!
You know from where my text comes?
The angel of Time might surely write with his finger upon the dust of your Bibles the sentence of your condemnation!
You know from where my text comes?
"Ehud said, 'I have a message from God for you.'"
It was a dagger which found its way to Eglon's heart—and he fell dead! So shall Death deliver his message to you."
