THE FADING LEAF
‘We all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.’
Isaiah 64:6
I. Lessons of the falling leaf.
(a) It is a picture of man’s insignificance on the face of God’s world.
(b) It is a picture of the inherent decay of man.
(c) It is a picture of the inevitable fate of man.
(d) It is a picture of the universal fate of man.
II. Look at the figure of the falling leaf as solemnised by the thought of sin.
(a) Sin has made the departure of man premature.
(b) Sin has made man’s departure from this world a violent one.
(c) Sin has given to man’s departure from this world a dark and terrible fear for the future.
