First Admonition

1 min read · Chapter 160 of 243

In the first place, notice that the report which had reached her touching the king in Jerusalem at once makes her dissatisfied with her present condition, wealthy though it was, and extraordinarily honorable. She sets out immediately, leaving behind her own royal estate with all its advantages in the flesh and the world. The fact of her journey shows the uneasiness and dissatisfaction which the tidings about Solomon and Jerusalem had awakened.
This speaks to us of the effect upon our hearts which the report that has gone abroad about a greater than Solomon should produce. In like spirit and in this day the quickened soul, under the report it has received about Jesus, is convicted and made restless in that condition in which nature has left it. And this report has found us. We have been upset by it—turned out of all the ease and satisfaction which before we may have found in ourselves and our circumstances.
