While a postman was sorting his letters, he was attracted by a text of Scripture on envelope. It was,
He was not a Christian, and he knew if lie died in his sins he would be lost.
About a week after he noticed on a second envelope another text, it was,
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.”
He gazed earnestly at these words. Did he believe on the Lord Jesus Christ? Did he believe in the right way? Most certainly he did not believe on the Lord, and had not believed on Him in any way.
On the same day when the letter-carrier read the second text, he happened to pass a building where a service was going on. He entered the building and was much surprised that the preacher’s text was,
As the speaker told out the wondrous, story of God’s almighty and matchless love in giving Christ to die for sinners. the postman laid hold of the glorious Gospel, and rejoiced in Christ as his Saviour, and afterward said,
“I have been a different man ever since,” and he said to a lady to whom he told the story, “I do bless the one who sent that envelope.”
Dear young friend, will you this moment take that well-known text home to your heart and believe that He will be as good as His word, and will save you now and for eternity.
