A little girl in my class was asked one day to write clown what she knew about Jesus, and, although very busy dung the week, she wrote down a long list or those things which she could remember, and about the middle of her list she put the following sentence, which pleased me very much:
“Jesus came to seek and to save that which was lost, and I was one of them.”
Can you say this, my dear young reader? Although young, she knew that Jesus had come to save her. Do you know it? And why did she know it? Simply because site believed what God had said about her, that she was lost, for God says,
“All have sinned;” “There is none good: no, not one.”
She not only classed herself among the lost, and believed that. Jesus came to seek and to save that which. was lost, but she believed that He had found her, and saved her. Can you say with her,
“Christ came to seek and to save that which was lost, and I was one of them?” The little girl took her place as a lost sinner. If you do not, salvation is not for you.
The jailor at Philippi cried out from the bottom of his heart,
“What must I do to be saved?”
Now the Lord will save you in the same way as He saved the jailor and the little girl, that is, without money and without price, for we read,
“By grace are ye saved.... and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.”
O! if you have not yet, clear young friend, come to God as a lost sinner, come now, this very moment—come to Jesus now; just as you are, and be sure He will save you, for He has said Himself,
“Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.” Then doubt not your welcome—
“But take, with rejoicing, from Jesus at once The life everlasting He gives, And know, with assurance, you never can die, Since Jesus your Substitute lives.”
