I have two birthdays every year, dear children,” said a friend while addressing a Sunday school, “two birthdays! My first is in April, and my second in June. I am glad to be able to tell you that the last one, the life in Christ, as a Christian, has been the best by far. My second has brought me into the beginning of a new life, eternal life, which will never end, and even now in company with my blessed Saviour, the only happy path, in this world, and endless joy throughout eternity.”
“If I had only the first birthday, would land in hell.”
“Have you two birthdays, dear children? Remember Jesus said,
‘Ye must be born again.’ (John 3:77Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. (John 3:7)), and this is as true of little ones like you, as of men and women.”
