Gold Nugget 330 - In Some Strange Land
God passes us through the fiery trial to purge us of our dross, to consume our earthliness, our selfishness, our grossness, our unbelief. And in some “strange land,” in some place of spiritual solitude, in conditions under which we are compelled to feel as we never felt before, to learn what we never knew before, to lay to heart what we never realized before, we leave many things behind us which are weights and hindrances, we move on to that which is before us. …
We may hear the blessed words of him who never ceases to address the generations of men, saying, “Come unto me, and I will give you rest.” We may learn of that Divine Teacher that whoever comes back from the “far country” of sin, and seeks the heavenly Father’s mercy, shall find the most cordial welcome he could hope to meet, and be taken back at once to all the love and to all the freedom of the Father’s home.
The Pulpit Commentary, II Chronicles p. 446, II Chronicles 36:20, (W. Clarkson)
