"Now, brethren, the same Savior is this day in the midst of us. He walks in the midst of the seven gold candlesticks-His eyes are like a flame of fire, and He searches the reins and the hearts. Think of this, you that are open sinners, and yet dare to sit down at the table of Christ-swearers - drunkards - Sabbath-breakers - unclean. Ministers and elders may not know your sins; they are weak and short-sighted men. Your very neighbors may not know your sins; you may hide them from your own family. It is easy to deceive man; but to deceive Christ is impossible. He knows your whole history; He is present at every act of dishonesty-of filthiness--of folly. The darkness and the light are both alike to Him. Think of this, you that live in heart-sins, rolling sin beneath your tongue as a sweet morsel-you that put on the outward cloak of seriousness and sobriety that you may jostle and sit down among the children of God-you that have the speech of Canaan in your lips, but hatred and malice, and the very breath of hell in your hearts-you that have the clothing of sheep, but inwardly are ravening wolves-you that are whited sepulchers, beautiful without, but within full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. Think of this, you that know yourselves unconverted, and yet have dared to sit down at the table of Christ. Christ knows you-Christ could point to you-Christ could name you-Christ could give the sop to you. You may be hidden to all the world, but you are naked and open to the eyes of Him with whom you have to do. Oh! that you would fall down beneath His piercing glance, and say: "God be merciful to me, a sinner!" Oh! that every one of you would say: "Lord, is it I?." -Robert Murray McCheyne
