I. THE TIME OF THE WORLD. Christ is at hand to judge the quick and the dead.

II. THE TIME OF OUR LITTLE WORLD; our particular judgment is near at hand. It shall be with us at the latter day as it is when we die.

III. THE SEASON OF THE TIME. The opportunity of time is shorter than the time of life; for we have not opportunity of time all our life.

1. The time is short for doing and taking good.

2. It is uncertain; we cannot tell how short. If it were told any that within two days he shall die, it would make us look about us: but who of us all knows certainly that he shall live two hours?

3. It is irrecoverable when it is gone. It is a precious thing, given for great purposes; let us take heed what we do in it. We may do that in a little time that we may rue for eternity. We may do and get that good in a little time that may stand by us world without end.Conclusion: There are three main parts of this little time.

1. The time that is gone; let us repent of it, if it have not been spent well.

2. The time present is to do good in.

3. For the time to come, it is out of our power.

(R. Sibbes, D. D.)
