Exodus 4:24-26 And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.… I. MOSES HAD NEGLECTED THE DUTY OF CIRCUMCISING HIS SON. II. THAT THIS NEGLECT OF DUTY INTRODUCED AN EXPERIENCE OF PAIN INTO HIS LIFE. III. THAT THIS NEGLECT OF DUTY ENDANGERED THE PERFORMANCE OF HIS RELIGIOUS WORK. Many a Christian worker is rendered feeble to-day by the sin of his past life. Let us beware how we imperil the freedom of men, and the work of God, by our own neglect. Freedom from sin is the great essential to the success of Christian work. IV. THAT THE NEGLECT OF THIS DUTY WAS MOST FOOLISH, AS IT HAD AFTER ALL TO BE PERFORMED. Men will have to face their neglected duties again, if not for performance in this world, yet for judgment in the next. (J. S. Exell, M. A.)
