We all know that it is not easy to confess Christ before our fellow workmen. It takes courage from the Lord, but we know He will supply it, if we ask Him.
One time a captain, feeling his weakness, bought a large Bible and laid it open on his table. He said, “I want the Bible to speak to others for me, for I am afraid I am not strong enough to speak for myself!” Many of his companions laughed at his faith, but he stood true to Christ and became a real witness for Him. It was not long before he himself was speaking to others, of the Lord Jesus, whenever he had an opportunity.
When the Lord Jesus saved us, it was not only to make us fit for heaven, although that is blessedly true, but He has left us here to be lights for Him in this dark world. He wants us to tell others of His love, that they may be saved too. When He was here upon earth He cast a legion of devils out of a man, and then said to him, “Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee.” Mark 5:1919Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. (Mark 5:19).
And that is why this little paper has come to you. It is with the earnest desire that if you are still unsaved, you may be brought to see your deep need. God must punish sin, and only through the atoning death of His Son on the cross of Calvary, can He put away our sins and give us everlasting life. Have you received Him by faith into your heart? If not, will you do so today?
