“In the Bible there was another man who had to run for his life, not because of a bear but because the city he was in was about to be destroyed. The Lord himself said to Lot, “Escape for your life,” although the command was sent by one of his chosen messengers. God has messengers nowadays; and he still sends by them short, sharp, urgent, stimulating messages like this, “Escape for your life.” This message was sent in love. God loved Lot, and therefore he would save him from the impending doom of Sodom. I do not doubt that this message of love was spoken by a messenger in very solemn tones. I do not know how angels speak, but I am certain that the very heart of the messenger was apparent in the message when he said to Lot, “Escape for your life.” Whether he whispered it in his ears or uttered it in louder accents, I cannot tell; anyway, I am sure that it was delivered as it ought to be delivered, and it had an immediate effect on the man who heard it, for he was obedient to it.”
