Do you know that every time a Chinese person uses the above character (the ordinary Chinese word for “COME”) that he draws a picture of a cross, a Man, (written thus, A.), on that cross, between two other men, on either side one?
Yet so it is.
Every time the Chinese write the word Come, they must draw this wonderful picture. Most of them do not know the meaning, but does it not bring to your mind those words about the Lord Jesus, — “They crucified Him, and two others with Him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.” John 19:1818Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. (John 19:18).
What a picture! A Man on a cross, His pierced hands stretched wide calling to you, “COME”
Have you heard His call? Have you obeyed? Have you Come? May this little paper be a voice from that same blessed Man, now in the glory, saying to you, “Come Home!”
