”But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house. And he arose, and departed to his house.” | Matthew 9: 6-7
Roland Hill was an English preacher of yesteryear who loved to bring the love of God to the poor, and the struggling of London.
On one occasion he was given a rather large sum of money to help support the pastor of a church in a low-income area. Thinking that the amount was too much to send in one lump sum he decided to send it in stages. Each week Roland Hill sent a portion of the gift with a note that simply said, “More to follow!”
Within a few days the pastor received another envelope containing the same amount of money with the same message, “More to follow.” Then there came a third, and then a fourth. In fact they continued with regularity, always accompanied by those comforting and cheering words, until the entire sum had been exhausted.
When God forgives our sins, there is more forgiveness to follow.
He justifies us in the righteousness of Christ, but there is more to follow.
He adopts us into His family, but there is more to follow.
He prepares us for heaven, but there is more to follow.
He gives us grace, but there is more to follow.
He helps us in old age, but there is still more to follow.
Even when we arrive in the world to come, there will still be more to follow.
~ Charles Spurgeon
