Genesis 5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. "God took him." I. WE SHOULD TAKE AN INTEREST IN THE DESTINY OF MEN. II. WE SHOULD RECOGNIZE THE HAND OF GOD IN THE REMOVAL OF MEN. III. WE SHOULD BELIEVE IN THE PARTICULARITY OF GOD'S OVERSIGHT OF MEN. When God takes a good man — (1) He takes that man to a higher blessing, (2) He will fill that man's place as a Christian worker upon earth. (3) He trains survivors towards self-reliance and emulous work.Or thus: 1. God took him the assertion of a sovereign right. 2. God took him — an illustration of Divine regard. 3. God took him — an assurance of eternal blessedness. 4. God took him — a pledge that all like him will be associated. (J. Parker, D. D.)
