Our friend the fisherman was never satisfied. He caught many a fish, but he always wanted a big one. Even the three-hundred-pounder in our picture made him hope that someday he would catch a bigger one.
The Lord Jesus told His disciples long ago that He would make them “fishers of men.” They were good fishermen too, and by His power, they gathered in many precious souls which had. been going hard after Satan’s bait.
Most fishermen toss back their little fish into the water, but God values His little ones just as much as His big ones. He has paid the same price for each. A tender little sinner or a hard old sinner, each one requires the atoning death of the Son of God to fit him for heaven.
Now Satan has very fine bait for you. He may be using comic books or other things to keep little folks from reading God’s wonderful Word and many a deeper brighter lure for older folks, for Satan knows well how to bait his deadly hook for each one.
God throws out His blessed gospel net for your salvation. This paper has been given you because we, who love the Lord Jesus, desire to be “fishers of men” also. We pray that God Himself will gather you, big people and little people, to our crucified Saviour. Will you come to Him today, for pardon and. peace and eternity with Christ in glory?
