WHAT a lovely scene it is to look into the humble cottage and see dear grandma telling her grand-children of what happened a long time ago, and we know how the children love to hear of things that took place long before they were in the world.
I will tell you a story which happened about fifty years ago about a little boy. He was troubled about his sins, and he had heard about the Lord Jesus coming back to take all His people from the earth to be
with Himself forever, and he had heard that when the last one would be saved, the Lord would come, and the door would be closed.
He thought that meant just his father's family. His brother and oldest sister were saved, and had been for some time, and the other four sisters were all troubled about their sins, and having to meet God, so he thought they would very soon be saved, too, and the Lord would come and take them away, and as he was so little, the Lord would not wait for him.
He was very foolish to so think of the Lord, but the Lord used such thoughts to cause him to be much troubled, for he did not want to be lost forever.
He spoke to his mother about it, and she told him about how the Lord Jesus came into this world to die for sinners. After two days he said he knew he was saved. It was not because he thought he was better, and became very good; but because he saw that Jesus was his Saviour. He had believed that word,
Remember, dear children, that God has said, "All have sinned," so no one can save himself. We all need the Saviour, the Lord Jesus. Have you accepted Him?
