I was saved in the Sunday school when a child, and have proved the Lord Jesus a true and faithful Saviour, Lord and Friend. I had a godly father who set before us all our need of conversion, and told us that we were just as bad in the sight of God as the children of the drunkard. I remember well, how my sister and I resented that, our proud hearts taking refuge in the fact that we were children of Christian parents.
Our teacher was speaking to us one afternoon, on the children of Bethel who mocked the prophet Elisha, and she made the remark that these Bethel children were worse than the heathen, although they lived at a place which at one time was the House of God, and then she added solemnly,
“Some of you who have long heard the Gospel may become scoffers at God’s servants and His truth, if you remain unsaved.”
I was arrested by that saying. I knew it applied to me. All the week I was in soul-trouble, and would fain have told it, but was too proud. The following Sunday our lesson was in John 10,
I entered in, and was saved in my class.
Have you, too, entered in by the Door, (Jesus), and have been saved, as I was on that day in my class? He is anxious and willing to save you, too. Will you not come to Him now?
