A LITTLE girl was reading a book containing a number of difficult articles. One of them was called “Taken or Left?” A question in it was,
“Let me ask you, my little friend, would you be taken or left if the Lord Jesus should come now?”
After she had read the article, she wrote at the end of it, “Taken”. She knew that she had trusted in the Lord Jesus as her Saviour. She knew that He had died for her, and had borne the judgment on the cross that she deserved for her sins, so she now belonged to Him, and that if He should come for all of His own redeemed ones, He would take her too to be forever with Himself.
Now I would press this same question home to the heart of each one of you, my dear young readers,
“Would you be taken or left, if the Lord Jesus should come now?”
He is calling for you to come to Him and accept Him as your own precious Saviour. Do not delay any longer.
But if you can say from your heart that you do believe that He loves you. and has given Himself for you, how happy you shall be to see Him when He comes; and we shall meet Him in the air, and He will take us to His Father’s house, to be there with Him forever.
Surely you can say with us, “Come Lord Jesus”.
