According to Spurgeon, a mother will not even have sorrow or pity for one of her own children who finds himself on the wrong side of Judgment Day. This is from a recent post at Pyro:
‘Mother!’ shrieks the son, ‘[Let me] not be separated from you forever, Save me! Oh, save me! Make intercession to the judge for me. He will hear thy cry, though he will not hear mine!’ ‘My son,’ she will reply, ‘I directed thy feet to God when thou wast young. On my breast you lay when my prayers went up to God for your soul. I taught you to lisp the name of Jesus, and your lips to utter his precious name. Do you not remember how, when you grew older, I taught you the way to heaven? But the time came when you scorned a father’s prayers and mocked a mother’s tears. But now your mother says, now, my son, it is changed. I can weep no more now, for I am glorified. I can pray no more for you now, for prayers are useless here. You are justly lost. You are damned, and I must say Amen to your condemnation.’” – C.H. Spurgeon
Truth be known, a scenario like this is one I truly dread, but one I will not be sad for if it ever comes, because where I will be there will be no mourning or crying or pain. That is why the time is NOW for me to make sure my children have every opportunity to respond to the true gospel of Jesus Christ!
Save my children, Oh Lord!
