A poor old man, crippled in both legs, came hobbling one day into a shop that was kept by a Christian. He began telling him about his sufferings, and the shop owner listened. Then the Christian interrupted, "You have been telling me about your sufferings in the present. Now let me ask you about the future. What have you done about that? Have you got Christ?”
"Have I got Christ?" repeated the old man earnestly. Tears trickled down his cheeks. "Why, Christ has got me!”
Blessed answer; can you, dear reader, say the same? "Christ has got me." He came to seek and to save the lost (Luke 19:1010For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10)). Has He found and saved you? Once you are His, He will never let you go. He holds His own in His hand, and none shall pluck them out (John 10:2828And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. (John 10:28)):
Perhaps the question is troubling you: how can you know you are His? How can you know that "Christ has got you"? The Word of God supplies the answer: "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life." 1 John 5:1313These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. (1 John 5:13). Do you believe? Yes; then eternal life is yours and you shall never perish (John 10:2828And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. (John 10:28)).
