ONE Sunday evening just before the commencement of the gospel meeting, the gentleman who was to speak spoke to a young girl about her nil. She had discovered her need of the Saviour, and simply and earnestly said a reply,
“I wish I could say I was saved.”
There was no time just then to say more, but after the meeting was over he remained behind and the speaker ought to make it very clear to her.
“He, the Lord Jesus, was wounded for Ada’s transgressions; He was bruised for Ada’s iniquities; the chastisement of Ada’s peace was upon Him; and with His stripes Ada is healed.”
Ada laid hold of it and just simply trusted in the Lord Jesus, and her desire was granted, for she was saved and knew it. She was then happy to confess the Lord to others.
I hope that many other boys and girls will do as Ada did, and receive the gospel message for themselves. It is when we take God at His Word, and make it personal that the Lord Jesus’ death on Calvary was for our very own sins, that we are saved. Have you done it?
