Just see what baby is doing! Someone has left a basin of water on the floor, and he has crept up to it and is amusing himself by splashing it about with his little fat hand. How serious he seems, as if he were wondering why the water splattered so when he struck it. No doubt his little mind is full of questions.
There are so many things for little folk to ask questions about. As they grow older they have so much to learn, and one way to find out about things is to ask.
There is one question which children, and grown people too, would do well to ask and to have settled. That is, “What will become of me when I leave this world?”
You will not always be here. Time is passing, and children, as well as grown people, are dying. Also, the Lord will soon come, and take all who believe on Him away from this world. O, how important to have that solemn question settled.
Our sins would shut us out from God’s presence, but if we take our place as sinners, and believe in the Lord Jesus as the One who died to put our sins away, they will all be forgiven.
