PERHAPS the oldest person to confess Christ as his Saviour, in my experience, said an evangelist, was an old man over 80. He told us one night after a gospel meeting that the message which was blessed to his salvation was from 1 Timothy 1: 15: “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.”
Then turning to some young people he said, “Don’t wait. Trust Jesus when you’re young. Give Him your best!” The old man sat down, and then a little girl spoke up and said, “I got saved too during these meetings.” She was so thankful to God for saving her so that all her life could be lived for her Saviour.
Truly, “Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou hast perfected praise.” Matt. 21: 16.
Another called, another brought, dear Saviour, to Thy feet!
Oh where are words to tell the joy so wonderful and sweet!
Another voice to tell it out what great things Thou hast done,
Another life to live for Thee, another witness won!
