Years ago when Robert Moffat was in Africa, he traveled far into the interior. One day he came to a tree upon which a board was fixed, saying that a Christian school was to be found in a village not far away. He was amazed, for he believed himself to be the first white man in that part. Making his way toward the village, he met a little native girl, to whom he said, “I saw a board that told me there was a Christian school held in the village. Would you be so good as to lead me to the teacher?”
The little girl hung her head and made no reply.
“Do you know the teacher?” he asked. Looking up into his face, but still shyly, she answered, “I am the teacher.”
Mr. Moffat discovered that the little girl had been taken to a distant tribe, there she heard a missionary tell the people of the love of Jesus, and she had taken Him as her Saviour and had now become the first missionary to her own people.
Would you not like to tell others of the Saviour you have, that others may accept Him and rejoice in Him, who so loved them?
“Whosoever therefore shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which is in heaven.
