Bertie and Bill had a pretty little yacht given them by their uncle, with which he meant them to enjoy themselves while they were on their holidays at the seaside.
“When you are done with it boys, pass it on to some other boy whose parents are unable to give him one,” said their uncle, and the boys remembered his word, and gave it to a poor boy, when their holidays were over.
That little incident of their boyhood was never forgotten by the two boys. After they had trusted the Lord Jesus as their Saviour, and received salvation through believing the Gospel (Rom. 1:1616For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. (Romans 1:16)), they began to “pass it on” to their comrades and acquaintances, and the Lord blessed their testimony to the conversion of not a few. And that was only the beginning of a happy and useful life of service to the Lord.
They used their money and their talents in “passing on the glad tidings to many a weary soul, and many a needy town, making others happy, and spreading the message to those who had never really heard its joyful sound.
If you have received the great salvation which Jesus died to procure, and which the Gospel has brought to your own heart, “pass it on” to others.
Every saved person is a steward, who is entrusted with God’s glad tidings to make it known to others; and the best way is to begin in your own, home and among your companions and schoolmates, telling them the story of Jesus and His love.
