Foolish Neglect and Fruitless Labour
Isaiah 55:2-3
Why do you spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfies not? listen diligently to me…


1. All the good that Christ doth offer, and all the gracious terms upon which He doth offer are sometimes slighted and refused by sinners.

2. Sinners are earnestly labouring and trading for vain and unprofitable things, when the great things of Christ are offered to them.

3. All the cost which men lay out, and all the pains which men do take for salvation from anything besides Christ, or in any other way than Christ's way, are utterly fruitless.

(O. Sedgwick, B. D.)
