They were having a great banquet one night at Thebes in Greece. The chief ruler, Archias & the other magnates of the city had taken their seats at the banqueting table; and the dancers & singers had commenced their entertainment.
There were enemies plotting against the life of Archias
& his companions. In the midst of the banquet a friend brought to him a
sealed letter, warning him that he was in peril of assassination.
Archias glanced at it & then, laying it aside, said:
"Pleasure tonight. Business tomorrow."
In a short time the assassins, who were diguised as female
entertainers, drew their daggers and slew Archias & his companions.
For the great business of eternal life there is only one
time & that it today.

Hear what God says: “When the time came for me to show you
favor, I heard you; when the day arrived for me to save you, I helped you.”
Listen! This is the hour to receive God's favor; today is the day to be saved!
(2 Cor 6:2 GNT).
“Tomorrow is the devil's day, but today is God's. Satan does
not care how spiritual your intentions are, or how holy your resolutions, if
only they are determined to be done tomorrow.” - J.C. Ryle.
