Moose: The Fireman [Tract]

The full text of Moose the Fireman

Big, powerful and brave Moose served as fire chief in the small town where he lived.

Early one morning the alarm sounded and Moose reached the scene before most of his firemen. Smoke was pouring from the windows of a large two-story house as Moose rushed up and forced open the front door. What a sight met his eyes! At the top of the burning staircase stood a frightened mother holding two little children, one by each hand. Behind her in a stroller lay a baby.

In a moment Moose raced up the stairs, picked up the terror-stricken mother in his massive arms, threw her across his shoulders and told her to hang on. Then he snatched up the two older children, one in each arm.

What About the Baby?

But what about the baby, you ask? Turning to the carriage, he bent low and, grasping her clothes with his teeth, he picked her up.

Then staggering beneath his precious load, he descended the flaming stairs. Just as he reached the door, the staircase collapsed behind him. He was just in time!

Thanks to the courage and bravery of Moose, all were saved from fiery death. Noble fireman! Thank the Lord for our brave firefighters!

A Bigger Sacrifice

This true, heroic act only recalls to mind the more glorious sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ. He laid down His life to save poor, helpless sinners from the eternal fire of hell — because He loved us.

This world is soon to be destroyed by the awful judgment of God against sin. “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15). He is the only hope of salvation, and He waits to save you.

Have you believed on Him? Come to Him now, for “he that believeth … shall be saved” (Mark 16:16).

“If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (Romans 10:9).

There is only one thing that can take away sins and make us pure and clean in God’s sight, and that is the blood of Jesus.

“The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 John 1:7). Have your sins been washed away in His precious blood?

Good News: God Loves You

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

What glorious words are these!

Seven great facts are here:

1. “God so loved” — the most blessed Friend with the largest heart.

2. “The world” — the greatest number of sinners, and enemies too.

3. “Gave His Son” — the best of all gifts.

4. “Whosoever” — the widest invitation.

5. “Believeth on Him” — the easiest and the only way to be saved.

6. “Should not perish” — the greatest deliverance.

7. “Have everlasting life” — the priceless and richest possession.
