DAILY READINGS: 2 Kings 9; Jeremiah 44; Hebrews 11:17-40
Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never
satisfied. Proverbs 27:20
The Fraser River in the Canadian Rocky Mountains is named after
Simon Fraser who in 1808 said that the 200 million gallons of water
that flowed every minute through a narrow gorge in its path, reminded
him of the thousands every day entering the gates of hell. He
called the gorge “Hell’s Gate”. On passing by this gorge on a train, I
took comfort to observe that a few miles down stream was a little village
called “Hope”. The Gospel message brings hope for all. The
gates of hell can be avoided by trusting in Jesus Christ as Saviour.

Thou, Lord, hast borne for me, more than my tongue can tell;
Of bitterest agony, to rescue me from hell. —F. R. Havergal
