Preciousness of Time

"...second, time is short, which is another thing that renders it very precious. The scarcity of any commodity occasions men to set a higher value upon it, especially if it be necessary and they can not do without it.....James 4:14....Time is so short, and the work which we have to do in it is so great, we have none of it to spare...."

From a sermon entitled The preciousness of time and the importance of redeeming it, by Jonathan Edwards.
