And so you see that manger divides the world of men and women. If a man stand upon this stone he shall he safe when the wild winds blow and the grim storms break and all the hells are loosed. But if that stone fall on a man, he shall be ground to powder. And so like that sun fitfully shining, that will make softer the wax and harder the clay, Jesus Christ of the manger comes to. you and me, and the heart gets soft or hard. And the life is open to admit Him or else the bars are closed against Him. That is what He was always preaching, that He is the decisive force of the world. Do you not remember how in His great sermon He said, “if a man heed my words and obey them, I will liken him unto a wise man which built his house upon a rock. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded upon a rock. And if a man hear my words and disobey them, I will liken him unto a foolish man who builds his house upon the sand. And when the slanting rain smites, and the cruel winds blow, and the great floods are loosed, that house shall fall,” telling to all the world that permanency or dissolution depend altogether upon our relationship to the Christ of the manger. And that is what He said later on in His life when He affirmed in that great text that everyone here ought to know by heart. “He that believeth on the Son hath life. He that believeth not the Son shall not see life.” Only the two men in the world. And the one has, life, and the other shall never have it. And the one reason why the one lives on and the other is destroyed, is relationship to Jesus Christ. So write me down among His friends! From what I have seen of them I want to be among them. Not many wise, not many noble' are called, and yet so far as I have been able to study these humble folk who accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour, I had rather be found among them in life than among the other kind who are the deniers of the faith and the revilers of the Christ. Yes, and let me be found among these who love the Lord Jesus in death. You know I have been watching people as they said their last words in the world ere they went out into the timeless land, and from what I have seen of the way folk die, I want to be found among the friends of Jesus.
