At Sunday school one day the teacher asked her boys the question: “What is the best news you have ever heard?”
Jerry, whose father was a sailor, said, “My dad is coming home. That’s the best news I have heard.”
Len, who had lived in the country all his life, said, “Teacher, the best news I ever heard is that my father got a job in the city. And we are going to live there.”
“Tom, who had been brought up in Chicago, said, “Well, that’s strange; the best news I ever heard was when Mother told us we were all going to live in the country.”
But Jim, the youngest and smallest boy in the class said, “Teacher, I think the best news I ever heard is that Jesus Christ came into the world to save me.”
How many boys and girls would answer that question like Jim did? That really is the best news in all the world!
