Application:
“Every true Christian should be exceedingly earnest in prayer concerning the souls of the ungodly, and when they are so, how abundantly God blesses them, and how
much the church prospers. But beloved, souls may be damned, yet how few of you care about them! Sinners may sink into the gul of perdition, yet how few tears are
shed over them! The whole world may be swept away by a torrent down the precipice of woe, yet how few really cry to God on its behalf. How few men say, ‘Oh
that my head were waters and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I may weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!’ We do not lament before God
the loss of men’s souls, as it well becomes Christians to do.” Spurgeon
