"I … heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me? And I answered, Who art Thou, Lord? And He said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth" (Acts 22:7,8).

Saul, a mad persecutor, is stopped on his way to Damascus. The voice of mercy arrests him—the voice of the exalted Jesus. The grace of Jesus wins him, the power of Jesus completely changes his entire course, and the chief persecutor of the saints becomes their chief comforter.

Oh, what wonders the voice of Jesus can accomplish! Have you yet heard that voice? Listen—it is addressing you today. In His name repentance and remission of sins is still being preached. What are you doing with this message?

We earnestly warn you that His voice will not always call you to blessing. Close your ears a little longer and the same voice will call you to judgment. Delay no more to hear with faith, as Saul did, the glorious voice of Jesus in the gospel. "Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the Lord hath spoken" (Jeremiah 13:15).
