Introduction.
Terrible shall be the day of general judgment. The expectation, nay, the bare thought of it should fill men with dread if their consciences are not in a good state. “Then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud with great power and majesty.” A terrible day in all its circumstances! Terrible when we consider the Person of the Judge, who shall be the all-knowing and just God, a Man like to us, our Redeemer, the Pattern of our lives! Terrible when we consider the poor sinner who shall be summoned to this judgment, accused, examined, and convicted therein; as we have seen already in eight sermons. There is still one point, and that a most terrible one, namely, how the sinner, summoned, examined, accused, and convicted, shall have the sentence of condemnation pronounced on him, etc. Continues as above.
