      It is melancholy to see a life rendered abortive from the first, but it is much more mournful to witness the failure of a life that began in promise and made good way toward success.  All the hopes and toils and sacrifices of the past are wasted.  How painful to be so near the goal and yet to give up the race! To sink within sight of the haven! 

      Such a broken life, like a day opening in a cheerful dawn and passing through a bright noon to a dark and stormy night, is of all lives most deplorable.  “ye did run well; who did hinder you” – what pathos there is in these words!  Christ wept over Jerusalem sadder tears than the ruin of Sodom could call forth.

 

The Pulpit Commentary, Galatians 290, Galatians 5:7, (W. F. Adeney)
