DAILY READINGS by Charles Spurgeon

MORNING: July 23 Brotherly kindness was due from Edom to Israel in the time of need, but instead
thereof, the men of Esau made common cause with Israel's foes. Special stress in the
sentence before us is laid upon the word thou; as when Caesar cried to Brutus, "and
thou Brutus"; a bad action may be all the worse, because of the person who has
committed it. When we sin, who are the chosen favourites of heaven, we sin with an
emphasis; ours is a crying offence, because we are so peculiarly indulged. If an angel
should lay his hand upon us when we are doing evil, he need not use any other rebuke than
the question, "What thou? What dost thou here?" Much forgiven, much delivered,
much instructed, much enriched, much blessed, shall we dare to put forth our hand unto
evil? God forbid! |
