 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck. Doubtless there are many other very mournful lives in Scripture, besides the three of which I propose to treat The Bible would not be the book of men and for men were it otherwise, seeing how many lives inexpressibly mournful there have been and are in this actual world—lives to which is attached exactly the same kind of mournfulness which cleaves to theirs—the lives, I mean, of men who, called to high things, have yet chosen low; who, called to a crown, have let others take that crown; to a kingdom, and to places there which were nearest the throne, have yet forfeited their places in that kingdom altogether. Such a life, for example, is that of Esau, who, for a mess of pottage, for one morsel of meat, sold his birthright, bartered away an inheritance which was his. Such another is that of Jeroboam, for whom God would have built a sure house, as He built for David, if only he had proved faithful as David proved. A sadness of the same sort rests upon the life of Demas, to whom a share in Paul’s crown as well as in Paul’s cross was brought so near; but who, loving this present world, preferred to cast in his lot, and to take his doom, with that world which he loved. At the same time these attain not to the first three. And the three whom I have selected—Balaam the prophet, but the prophet outside the Covenant; Saul, the king under the old dispensation; and Judas Iscariot, the apostle under the new; these three, first who were also last, present themselves as in some sort the mourn fullest of all, for the greatness of their vocation, and their disastrous falling short of the same, for the utter defeat of their lives, for the shipwreck of everything which they made. And here let me note that assuredly it was not for nothing that St. Paul employed such a word as this. A shipwreck involves for the most part a perishing, and that without salvage, of all which had been committed to the ill-fated bark; and in this way sets forth to us, better than any other word would have done, a loss which we have no choice but to consider as irremediable and total.
