"For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation...? (Heb. 2:2-3)

A customer shopping in a store came to an item that was marked 98 cents. Thinking the price too high, he wrote 49 cents. The customer did this to several articles. At last, he came down before the checker with the cart filled with marked down items. The checker began to check. Noticing the changed prices he remarked: "I'm sorry we priced these items too high for you, and hope the price you marked suits you, for it suits us perfectly too." Certainly, this is absurd, but thousands of people will stand before the Lord Jesus on the other side of life with a life-long list of marked down activities. Instead of faithful attendance, they will bring before Him irregular attendance. Instead of liberal giving they will bring before Him giving that was sparing. Instead of complete obedience, they will bring partial obedience. Do you think that our Lord will say, "I'm sorry that I made the requirements too high for you. Pass on through -- heaven is yours"???
