24. Pour out thine indignation upon them. What can
be too severe a penalty for those who reject God, and refuse to obey the
commands of his mercy? They deserve to be flooded with wrath, and they will be
(1 Thessalonians 2:16). God’s indignation is no trifle. And let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. Grasping them, arresting them, abiding on
them. If they flee, let it overtake and seize them; let it lay them by the
heels in the condemned cell, so that they cannot escape from execution. It will
indeed be so with all the finally impenitent, and it ought to be so. God is not
to be insulted with impunity; and his Son, our ever gracious Saviour, the best
gift of infinite love, is not to be scorned and scoffed at for nothing. He that
despised Moses’ law died without mercy, but what will be the “sorer punishment”
reserved for those who have trodden underfoot the Son of God?
