The Time is Short
“Arise, shine, for thy light is come!” (Isa. 60:1).
In the Polar regions the summer season causes much joy and brightness. Every hour is utilized, as they well know that in a few weeks the opportunity will be gone, and the severity of a long winter will again set in. They act as those who believe that the time is short. Such is the “accepted time, the day of salvation” (2 Cor. 6:2). A brief but precious season. Yet many do not heed this—their only chance of a harvest of eternal bliss before the long winter of death and eternal gloom sets in. “Arise, shine, for thy light is come!”
