In English
If you go early enough in the morning to a hotel and buy a ticket for your lunch, you are sure of your meal whether you go at twelve o’clock or at one o’clock, because you have purchased the ticket early enough. If you go for lunch at one o’clock without buying a ticket early, the hotel keeper may inform you that lunch is not available. Therefore, try and purchase the ticket for God’s Grace, which you will want in your old age, while you are young. With that ticket purchased early, it will be available whenever you go, but if you think that you will buy the ticket for the grace of the Lord when you grow old, it may not be available for you. The availability of the Lord’s grace will depend upon your luck and fortune.
