HOW wonderful are all God’s works! Wherever we may look, whether in the animal or vegetable kingdoms, the finger of an all-wise Creator is seen.
The dear children in our picture are admiring the beautiful wild flowers, but very likely they are not thinking of who put them there. I trust, dear children, when. ever you look at all the beautiful flowers and trees and beautiful butterflies and all the different insects, that you will think of the all-wise Creator.
There is one point of difference between ourselves and the lower animals that I would like to draw your attention to, and that is that we are responsible creatures and they are not. We therefore must have to say to God, our Creator, about all that we do. As to the extent of our responsibility to God, we need something more that creation to show that to us, so God has given us His Word, the Bible, and it is marked with the same finger that creation is marked. So it tells us,
This is a very solemn thing, and there is one thing above all else that God will have us answer to, and that is, What have we done with His Son? Have you thought of what you have done with Jesus? Perhaps you may say, “I have not done anything with Him.” But you know God has asked. us to believe on Jesus, His Son, as the One who died for us. Have you thus accepted Him as your Saviour? If you have not, you are rejecting Him, like the people who were at the trial of the Lord Jesus. They said, “Away with Him.” Which of these two are you doing with Jesus? This is our great responsibility, and we must answer to God for what we have done with Jesus, His Son.
