THE other day a little boy was talking with his mamma about an aged friend, who frequently visited their house, when he said, “Mamma, is Mr. B. saved?”
His mamma replied, “Oh, yes, L.; he has been saved for many years. He is only waiting for the Lord to take him to His home.”
The little boy thought a moment, and then said, “So am I waiting, Mamma. Wouldn’t it be nice if the Lord Jesus should come and get us tonight?”
Are you, my little friends, waiting for the Lord Jesus to come and take you to His own home, like the old man and the little boy; or are you afraid if He should come, He would leave you behind? He wants you to trust in Him now, then when He comes, you will be ready. He is coming soon, for He has said, “Surely I come quickly.”
