Laughing at sin

To mock at sin now , is the way to a place of eternal weeping . Those who weep for sin now , will rejoice in a Saviour yet . Blessed are they that mourn , for they shall be comforted. Those who make a mock at sin are obliged also to mock at holiness. This is the law of their condition ; "evil men and seducers wax worse and worse" To laugh at sin and to laugh at holiness are two sides of the one thing ; they cannot be separated. Those who make mirth of goodness persuade themselves that they are only getting amusement from the weakness of a brother ; let them beware ; if a Christian which affords you sport be a feature of his Redeemers likeness, He whose likeness it is , is looking on , and will require it . Let the merrymakers see to it , when they are raising a laugh at the softness of a Christian , lest they be really scorning the gentleness of Christ , reflected in the mirror of a disciples life-course. God is not mocked . When Jesus looked down from the brow of Olivet upon a city full of sinning men , He wept.  He is wise , and knows what is suitable to the case . He sees the end from the beginning . None who look unto Jesus can mock at sin ; The Redeemer's tears would quench profane mirth.
