Good morning!
Hopelessness
Those poor who are without a covering for their bodies are to be pitied; but with what tears should we lament those --- how rich soever they are in this world --- who are without a covering for souls, and so stand naked in the storm, and under the dreadful droppings of the wrath of God. ---- Joseph Caryl. 1650.
Jesus...said to those who followed Him, "Truly, I tell you...many will come from east and west and recline at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the sons of the kingdom* will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 8:9--13).
A hymn to read, sing, hum or whistle to the glory of God: HOW SWEET THE NAME OF JESUS SOUNDS.
-----
* "Sons of the kingdom..." are natural descendants of Abraham who reject Jesus Christ as Messiah --Lord and Savior.
How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
In a believer’s ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.
