What a beautiful picture of a Colorado mountain stream with a dear little boy standing on a rock near the water.
This boy is now a big boy, but we are sure he will not mind our showing you the picture.
The whole scene reminds us of the wonderful works of God, the Creator of heaven and earth.
But there is something more wonderful than the power of God in creation. He has taken up poor sinners—guilty men, women and children—who deserve to be punished forever for their sins, and has made them clean and white and fit for His holy presence.
When God wished to create the world, He had only to speak the word, “Let there be light.” “Let the earth bring forth.”
But when sinners were to be saved, the Lord Jesus must give His life, must shed His precious blood. Yes, sin must be punished, so the Lord Jesus bore the punishment in our stead that we might go free.
