ONE day a poor old man, crippled in both legs, came hobbling with two sticks into a shop that was kept by a Christian, and began telling him about his sufferings. After he had gone on for some time, the latter replied, "You have been telling me about your sufferings in the present, now let me ask you about the future; what have you in relation to that? Have you got Christ?"
"What have I got?" replied the old man earnestly, the tears trickling down his cheeks, "Why, CHRIST HAS GOT ME!"
Blessed answer; can you, dear reader, say the same: "Christ has got ME"? He came to seek and to save the lost. (Luke 19:1010For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10).) Has He found and saved you? If once you are His, He will never let you go. He holds His own in His hand, and none shall pluck you out. (John 10:2828And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. (John 10:28).)
Perhaps the question is troubling you, how you may know you are His, how you may know Christ has got you. Let the Word of God answer.
