Matthew 26:14-25

Matthew 26:14-25

1. Let us learn that a man may enjoy great privileges, and make a great religious profession, and yet his heart all the time may not be right before God.
2. Let us learn that the love of money is one of the greatest snares to a man's soul.
3. Let us learn the hopeless condition of all who die unconverted.

"Like Lot's wife, Judas is intended to be a beacon to the whole church. Let us often think about him, and say, as we think, "Search me, O Lord, and try my heart, and see if there be any wicked way in me." Let us resolve, by God's grace, that we will never be content with anything short of sound, thorough, heart conversion."

"We live in a day when a morbid charity induces many to exaggerate God's mercy, at the expense of His justice, and when false teachers are daring to talk of a "love of God, lower even than hell." Let us resist such teaching with a holy jealousy, and abide by the doctrine of Holy Scripture. Let us not be ashamed to walk in the old paths, and to believe that there is an eternal God, an eternal heaven, and an eternal hell."
