The Highway Forums Announcements What's New on The Highway website? "The Last or Great Change" by Thomas Watson

If all that has been previously said will not stop men in their sins, I shall add little more; only let me make this one motion to them, that they would remember their mortality and think seriously how soon a change may come, and how terrible it will be to die in their sins, John 8:21. For this purpose, let them hearken to this deathwatch in the text, “I will wait till my change come.”

This article by Thomas Watson is based upon Job 14:14. He develops his exposition under three headings or propositions:

1) Death is a change.
2) This change will come.
3) It is a high part of Christian prudence to wait until this change comes.

After moving through these 3 headings, Watson then focuses upon the application of them to unbelievers and believers alike, although they are decidedly different to each respectively. However, it is to believers that he spends most of his time exhorting them to not be slothful waiting for the end to come but rather to be busy doing the works of God while it is yet day. I'm sure you will find this a stimulating read.
