KASHAN, a little dark-skinned Hindu boy from the mountains of India, had come to work in the home of a missionary. He was intelligent and learned to do many things for the white man.
The missionary and his family would always gather in the morning to read the Word of God and to pray. Kashan would listen too and he bowed his head when the missionary prayed.
At last one day Kashan said, "Such wonderful things you read from the Bible! I never heard things like that where I come from!"
"If you believe them, Kashan," said the missionary, "they can be yours too."
But poor Kashan only shook his head. "They are wonderful," he said, "but they are not for me. They may be for you. You are one of the King's children. You have a white skin. But I am not one of His children, for I have a dark skin. I am only a poor boy from the mountains."
"Kashan," said the missionary, "I am one of the king's children, but not because I have a white skin. I am a child of God because I have believed in His dear Son, Jesus, who died upon the cross for all. He is my Saviour.
"And you can be one of His children too, Kashan, by trusting in Him as your Saviour. The color of your skin, or where you come from doesn't make any difference. "For we are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus." Gal. 3:2626For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 3:26).
Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the world:
Red and yellow, black and white,
All are precious in His sight;
Jesus loves the little children of the world.
Jesus died for little children,
All the children of the world:
Red and yellow, black and white,
All are precious in His sight;
Jesus died for all the children of the world.
