INTRODUCTION: This chapter reminds us that the world is moving swiftly toward the end of time.
As long as the old age lasts, the night continues.
But the turning point has come, with Christ.
“The dayspring from on high hath visited us”.
The night continues of course, but it moves swiftly toward the daybreak.
Those who are Christ’s belong no longer to the night; they are men of the morning, for they have seen the breaking of God’s new day.
The apostle now insists that our moral life must conform to the fact that we are the children of the day:
Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Elsewhere, the works of darkness are called “the works of the flesh” (Gal.
5:19–21).
Paul list is given: rioting (“carousing,” and drunkenness, chambering (“sexual sleeping around,”) and wantonness (“extreme indulgence in sensual pleasures,” strife and envy (13).
All these belong to the night.
In place of these we must put on the armour of light.
Therefore we should “seek the Lord while he may be found”
This text warns us that it is later than we think.
“The night is far spent.”
There is just enough time to give our lives to Christ and serve Him a little while.
“The time is short”
Time, itself, is not so short, but the time each person has left to prepare to meet his Master is short.
“IT IS HIGH TIME TO WAKE OUT OF SLEEP”
1. “Make your calling and election sure,”
2. “Set your affections on things above,”
4. Don’t press your luck too far with sin.
5. Don’t press your luck with mere profession.
6. Don’t press your luck by thinking there is plenty of time.
“Thou fool, this night …”
IMMEDIATE DECISION FOR CHRIST SHOULD BE MADE.
LIKE—
1. Matthew, who “arose, and followed him,”
2. Peter and Andrew, who followed “straightway,”
3. The prodigal, who “arose, and came to his father,” Luke 15:20.
4. The eunuch, who said, “Here is water; what doth hinder …?”
5. Zacchaeus, who “made haste … and received him,”
Are You One Who Say:
1. Going to put God first in your life—begin now!
2. Going to be more loyal to worship—begin today!
3. Going to be more trustworthy—start today!
4. Going to give more time to God’s Word—begin now!
5. Going to give more time to prayer—don’t put it off!
6. Going to give more time to soul-winning—begin today!
7. Going to rededicate your life to Christ—Do it now!
8. Going to accept Christ as your Savior—Do it now!
“THE NIGHT IS FAR SPENT, THE DAY IS AT HAND.”
