In Truro, Nova Scotia, two young girls sat side-by-side in the big gospel tent, listening closely to the message of God’s love to lost sinners. Mary had often come before and had already trusted the Lord Jesus to wash away her sins. Now she wanted others to know Him too, so that day she had brought her friend.
When the meeting was over most of the children ran outside, but the two girls stayed behind to talk to the man who had been speaking earlier. He told them once again how the Father had sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world because He loves us so much and doesn’t want even one of us to perish in our sins. They all knelt down together to ask the Lord for His saving grace for Mary’s friend. She happily accepted the fact that “the blood of Jesus Christ . . . [cleanses] us from all sin” (1 John 1:77But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (1 John 1:7)).
As the girls left the gospel tent walking hand-in-hand, Mary said to her friend, “Now you can say, ‘Jesus died for me.’ ”
Can you say that?
