Wake Up Call
An American went to Scotland. He was walking with his Scottish friend through a beautiful mountainous area. The Scottish friend produced a sound. The same sound was echoed 4 minutes later. He asked the American friend if that was possible in American mountains. He replied this is not a surprise. Whenever I go to bed I will open my window and shout towards a mountain far away, “It’s time to wake up” then go to sleep. Exactly eight hours later the same sound will come back to wake me up. This may be a joke. But we need a sound, a wakeup call to wake us up in Christian life. It is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
