Salvation: Trampling on Christ
I once heard of a father who had a prodigal boy who had sent his
mother down to the grave with a broken heart. One evening the boy
started out as usual to spend the night in drinking and gambling. As
he was leaving, his old father said, "My son, I want to ask a favor of
you tonight. You have not spent an evening with me since your mother
died, and now I want you to spend this night at home. I have been very
lonely since your mother died. Now, won't you gratify your old father
by staying home with me?" "No," said the young man; "it is lonely
here, and there is nothing to interest me, and I am going out." The
old man prayed and wept, and at last he said, "My boy, you are just
killing me as you have killed your mother. These hairs are growing
whiter, and you are sending me, too, to the grave." Still the boy
would not stay, and the old man said, "If you are determined to go to
ruin, you must go over this old body tonight. I cannot resist you; you
are stronger than I. But if you go out, you must go over this body."
He laid himself down before the door, and that son walked over the
form of his father, trampled the love of his father underfoot, and
went out.
That is the way with sinners. You have to trample the blood of
God's Son under your feet if you go down to death, to make light of
the blood of the Innocent, to make light of the wonderful love of God.
