Terror not Necessary to Repentance
Luke 13:1-5
There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.…


There are those who will not come into God's kingdom unless they can come as Dante went into paradise — by going through hell. They wish to walk over the burning marl, and to snuff the sulphurous air. If a man has done wrong, his own thoughts should turn him to reparation; but if they do not, the first intimation from the injured friend should suffice.

(H. W. Beecher.)
