April 7

Your humanity is at stake; the souls of the unsaved are at stake. The sinner saved by grace is not only a person who is heartbroken over his own sins. But he is also heartbroken over the sins and present destiny of those around him: “Rivers of water run down from my eyes, because men do not keep Your law” (Ps 119:136). When you sit around your kitchen table with your children or your siblings or your parents, when you spend time with your friends, when you go into your office, when you walk the streets of your town, when you stand in a great concourse of men and women with the hordes thronging about you, you are in most cases seeing a mass of untaught and hell-bound sinners. Your soul should be stirred to its depths by the reality of those whom you love and even those whom you do not know, lost and on their way to an eternity under the just judgment of a holy God who will yet save whoever turns to Him. — Jeremy Walker, The Brokenhearted Evangelist, p 36
