======================================================================== WHERE WILL ALL THESE MEN BE WITHIN A HUNDRED YEARS? by Thomas Brooks ======================================================================== Summary: The sermon emphasizes the fleeting nature of human life and the importance of seeking salvation before it's too late. Topics: "Eternity", "Compassion for the Lost" Scripture References: Ecclesiastes 3:20, Matthew 7:13, Luke 19:41, Hebrews 9:27, James 4:14 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thomas Brooks reflects on the fleeting nature of life, using the example of Xerxes who wept at the thought of his vast army being reduced to graves within a century. He emphasizes the urgency of considering the eternal fate of the multitudes around us, lamenting that many may face eternal separation from God. Brooks draws a parallel to Jesus, who wept over Jerusalem, highlighting the need for compassion and urgency in reaching the lost before it's too late. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Xerxes, when he viewed his almost innumerable army of men, fell a-weeping, saying, "Where will all these men be within a hundred years?" He wept to think that all that mighty army would be in their graves within a hundred years. Ah, what cause of weeping is there, when we behold the multitudes in the world, considering that within a few years--most of them may be in hell! "As He approached and saw the city, He wept over it." Luke 19:41 ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/thomas-brooks/where-will-all-these-men-be-within-a-hundred-years/ ========================================================================
