The time of the gospel is a time indeed--namely, a time of light, a time of love, a time of life, a time of liberty (Matt. 4:16; 2 Tim. 1:10; Ezek. 16:8; Rom. 5:8; Isa. 61:6; John 8:36). Now, the trumpet of jubilee sounds, and all debts and mortgages may be taken up and released. Here is liberty for the poor captives and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. 'Tis now an "accepted time," a "day of salvation" (2 Cor. 6:2), a time to accept or a time to be accepted, a golden and glorious time indeed. Behold, now there is a broad and clear way to His mercy seat. The flaming sword is gone; the partition wall is down; all bars and gates are removed; an act of indemnity is proclaimed; and there is a free admission for all to come and be saved. Pardons are ready (Isa. 55:6-7).”

“Gospodaru, mudri ne sede tužeći,
već otklanjaju uzrok jadu svom.
Strah smanjuje snagu, i strah od dušmana
njemu daje snagu u vašoj slabosti,
jer se onda vaša ludost bori s vama.
Bolje je umreti u borbi no strahu.
Smrt pobedi ko u borbi nađe grob;
ko umre u strahu taj je smrti rob.”
