The Gradual But Inevitable Advance of Divine Judgment
T. Guthrie, D. D. Romans 2:3 And think you this, O man, that judge them which do such things, and do the same, that you shall escape the judgment of God? Slow goes the hand of justice, like the shadow on the sundial; ever moving, yet slowly creeping on, with a motion all but imperceptible. Still stand in awe. The hand of justice has not stopped, although imperceptible it steadily advances; by and by it reaches the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth hour. And now the bell strikes. Then unless you have fled to Christ, the blow which was so slow to fall, shall descend over the head of impenitence with accumulated force. (T. Guthrie, D. D.)
