“Let not one of them escape.” — 1 Kings 18:40
When the prophet Elijah had received the answer to his prayer, and the fire from heaven had consumed the sacrifice in the presence of all the people, he called upon the assembled Israelites to take the priests of Baal, and sternly cried, “Let not one of them escape.” He took them all down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there. So must it be with our sins — they are all doomed, not one must be preserved. Our darling sin must die. Spare it not for its much crying. Strike, though it be as dear as an Isaac. Strike, for God struck at sin when it was laid upon His own Son. With stern unflinching purpose must you condemn to death that sin which was once the idol of your heart. Do you ask how you are to accomplish this? Jesus will be your power. You have grace to overcome sin given you in the covenant of grace; you have…
strength to win the victory in the crusade
against inward lusts, because Christ Jesus has promised to be with you
even unto the end. If you would triumph over darkness, set yourself in the
presence of the Sun of Righteousness. There is no place so well adapted
for the discovery of sin, and recovery from its power and guilt, as the
immediate presence of God. Job never knew how to get rid of sin half so
well as he did when his eye of faith rested upon God, and then he abhorred
himself, and repented in dust and ashes. The fine gold of the Christian is
oft becoming dim. We need the sacred fire to consume the dross. Let us fly
to our God, He is a consuming fire; He will not consume our spirit, but our
sins. Let the goodness of God excite us to a sacred jealousy, and to a holy
revenge against those iniquities which are hateful in His sight. Go forth to
battle with Amalek in His strength, and utterly destroy the accursed crew:
let not one of them escape.
