John 12:34-36 The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ stays for ever: and how say you, The Son of man must be lifted up?… A man who would enjoy the pleasures of this world said it was too soon for him to think of another world. He journeyed, and was taken ill very suddenly, and in the middle of the night, at an inn. The people there sent for a clergyman. He came; and the dying man, looking him in the face, before he could speak, said to him, "Sir, it is too late!" The minister said, "Christ is able to save to the uttermost," and explained the gospel to him. He replied, "Sir, it is too late!" The clergyman asked, "Will you allow me to pray with you?" His only reply was, "Sir, it is too late!" He died, saying, "It is too late!" (Arvine.)
