A happy Christian tailor was one day measuring a man for a new suit of clothes. “What kind of suit do you expect to wear in the next world?” he asked.
“Oh,” said the man, “I don’t care what kind of suit they bury me in.”
“But,” said the tailor, “I am not thinking about your burial suit. I am thinking about the white robes that the saved ones will wear in heaven. I hope you will be among those whom the Lord shall array in a white robe.”
“Mind your own business,” the man replied, “and don’t worry about me.”
“Well,” said the tailor, “this is my business. I am a Christian and it is my business to tell others about the Saviour. Tailoring is a side line with me.”
Dear reader, will you be among that white-robed throng in heaven, singing the wondrous new song? Or will you be among those in hell where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth forever?
