Frozen Talons
One winter day, a carcass was floating down the Niagara River upon a cake of ice. An eagle, soaring above the river, spied
it and dropped down upon it. He sat there leisurely devouring his easy prey. The swift current began bearing him rapidly downward
to the fall. But was he not safe? Could he not leap in a moment into mid-air from his dangerous post? Could he not stretch
his great pinions and float off into safety at the very brink of the awful cataract? Had he not done that a thousand times
before in his bird experience? So he floated on! But by and by came the thundering roar of the great cataract. The cloud of
white mist that marked the fatal brink of the fall was towering almost above him. It was time to leave. So he stretched out
his great wings for flight. But he could not rise! Unnoted by him his talons, sunken in the ice, and the flesh of his prey,
had frozen hard and fast in the bitter winter day, and his FATE WAS SEALED! He flapped his great wings. He struggled with
all the power and muscle and sinew. But all in vain. In a few moments he was swept over into the abyss to his death. HE HAD DELAYED TOO LONG! . . . How will YOU escape
if you neglect? Your immortal soul is in instant and unceasing jeopardy of eternal death. God offers His Son Jesus Christ
as YOUR escape. What will YOU do with Him? ------James H. McConkey (Knight’s Master Book)
Will you neglect Jesus and be swept over the edge to eternal death, or will you accept Jesus and soar with the eagles into
eternity?
