A GENTLEMAN once met a little girl, and asked her if she loved the Bible.
“Yes, sir, I love the Bible,” she said.
She was then asked if there was one portion of it, or one passage, that she loved better than the rest.
She said, she loved it all; but if she was permitted to love one portion more than the rest, it was, “Him that cometh to Me, I will in no wise cast out.” On this she rested.
Ah, that is a beautiful text, for the one who comes may be old or young, rich or poor, ignorant or learned, well-behaved or very bad—if he comes to Jesus, He will in nowise cast out. O do come to Him, dear children!
