HE REFUSED HIS PARDON- THE STORY OF WILSON
This was an unsual case, and most people would agree that wilson was a fool for refusing to accept pardon. Yet these same people daily reject pardon which God has provided for them in the crucified Christ. The most amazing thing in this atomic age is to see men who tremble at the thought of universl destruction, and who would snatch at a reprieve which would prolong their lives a few shirt years, deliberately fuse God pardon from eternal death and His deed to eternal life.
In justice Marshall's defination, " a pardon is an act of grace"- a free gift, an unmerited favour, unearned, not to be obtained by purchase or effort. But that is by no means at all. The decision reads; pardon is deed, to the validity of which delivery is essential, and delivery is not complete without acceptance.
In the case of real property, we all know that a deed must be deliverd and acknowledge before the transaction is complete. The court extended this ruling to apply to man's physicsl life. The bible extends it to include his eternal soul. God executed His deed on calvary, and sealed it in the blood of His son, but the transaction is not complete in your case until you definatly accept Christ as your surety.
HAPPY EASTER CELEBRATION
