DR. Langdale of New York tells a of a devoted business man who was struck by an automobile and hurried to hospital. Doctor informed him that he had about two hours to live.
His faith was implicit in the goodness of GOD in his life and in the future life in Heaven. To him death is the only gateway leading to the presence of God and to his Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.
His family was hurriedly called to his bedside, and as he embraced each one he had a parting word.
“Beloved”, he said to his wife, you have been the dearest woman in the world to me. Through sunshine and shadow we have walked together. You have been my inspiration in all that I have undertaken and many times I have seen the spirit of God shining in your face. God night.
Mary, you are our first born. What a joy you have been to your father. I see in you a sweet and beautiful young woman who left her home to be the builder and keeper of mine. And a fine Christian you are .Good night, Mary dear, good night.
He then turned to the oldest son.” Will”, your coming into our home has been an unmixed blessing. You were manly boy; you have become an exemplary man. You love and seek to serve God of your father. Continue to grow in every Christian grace and virtue. Good night. Good night.
Charlie was the next. Charlie had fallen under evil influences and had grievously disappoint his father and mother. But the dying man skipped him and spoke to the youngest child.
Gracie, your coming was like the breaking of a new day in our home. You have filled out hearts with music. When not long ago you surrendered your soul to Christ, our joy was full to overflowing. Good night, little girl good night.
He then called Charlie to his side. “Charlie, you were promising boy….but I believe the you know that you have disappoint your farther and your mother. You have followed the broad and downward road. You have not hearkened to the call of the saviour. But I love you; Charlie…..God only knows how much I love you. Good-bye. Good-bye.”
Charlie seized his father’s hand and between sobs he cried out: father, why have you said good bye to others and good night to me?
“Son, I will meet the other \s of the family in the morning because of the promise in the word of God that assures us of a reunion. But by the same statements of God’s word, I have no hope to seeing you over there. It is good-bye, Charlie. Charlie fell to his knees by the bedside. He cried out in agony of his soul, praying that God would forgive his sin and make him new man in Christ. Do you mean it, Charlie? Are you sincere Charlie?”
God knows that I am” said the broken hearted young man between sobs.
“Then God will hear you and save you and it will not be good-bye. So good night. And a moment time the father was gone. Today Charlie is a preacher of the Gospel.
Oh , members of a home circle, husband, wives, fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, loved ones… when the shadow falls and you go to “sleep” will it be to those who love you just a short “good night” or “good –bye” forever?
