TWO young girls, eleven years old, who were schoolmates and friends, went to a gospel service one Sunday evening, and a dear old man preached a very solemn sermon from the words, “One shall be taken, and the other left.”
There was a great hush over the hall and the Holy Spirit was bringing the earnest words of the preacher home to many hearts. As the two children came down the steps to go home, Janie said, “Nellie, if Jesus came back tonight, shall you be the one taken, or the one left?” Matt. 24:4040Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. (Matthew 24:40).
“I am afraid that I should be left behind, Janie.”
“I should not,” replied Janie, “for I have given myself to Jesus a long time ago, and He knows it.”
Can you say that, dear reader, or not?
