“Great as the harvest of sin has been, we believe that the saved shall vastly
outnumber the lost. Nothing less will satisfy Christ. Remember that in the
first age, before mention is made of the latter triumphs of the Gospel, John
beheld in heaven a multitude which no man could number. This was but the
first-fruit sheaf; let who will compute the full measure of the harvest!”
— F.B. Meyer, Christ in Isaiah
I’ve heard this one
before, and Meyer may well be correct. Who can say? Perhaps in the end more human
beings will be saved than lost. Love certainly likes to hope so.
