As we continue reflecting on Acts 2, we'll spend the next few days remembering some of the points from Pastor Sam's sermon this past Sunday.
Perhaps we should call it God's sermon through Pastor Sam, because there were moments when the Lord caused Pastor Sam to say things that were not originally part of the planned sermon. Those moments were clear, obvious, prophetic warnings against those who regularly come to services and hear the word of the LORD, but who have made the decision to ignore the pleadings of God. As we have heard before, and this Sunday we heard it again, the day will come when God stops pleading: those individuals who continue to disobey God will be left to themselves.
My friends, can you hear the cry of Jesus? "You did not recognize the time of God's coming to you" (Luke 19:44). And, my friends, there is such a thing as "too late". The prophetic moments in the sermon brought to remembrance the "hall of shame", those men and women who missed their opportunity: people like Esau (Hebrews 12:15-17); the five foolish virgins (Matthew 25:1-13); and of course Judas (Matthew 27:3-5).
What's that I hear? Must be God's watch ticking.
