Lovely and accomplished, she only lived for this life. Idolized by her parents, loved by her fiance, she had it all.
But she contracted a fatal disease. The skilled physician pronounced the heartrending verdict that her days were numbered.
“Dad,” she said, “I’m about to die. Where am I going?” Her father couldn’t answer.
“Mom, can you tell me what I need to do to get to heaven?” Her only reply was tears.
Her fiance couldn’t answer either.
“I’m lost!” she exclaimed. “Aren’t I? Is there anyone who can tell me what I must do to be saved?”
Finally her dad said, “You’ve always been a respectful daughter, and have never caused your parents trouble. You’ve regularly attended church, and helped in the services. The minister has performed the rites of the church, and said he was satisfied with your preparation.”
“But I feel that’s not enough. It’s no rest to my soul. It’s hollow it’s not real. O! I’m about to die, and I don’t know where I am going. Can’t anyone teach me what I can do to be saved?”
Death was around the corner. Eternity was looming. They didn’t how to answer the agonizing appeal of the young lady, awakened to a sense of sin — to a dread appearing before God — to the terrors of hell.
But she had a young servant who longed to tell her mistress but felt too shy. At last she got up her courage, and told her mistress, “There’s a preacher in who tells everyone they can have salvation through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and he urges us to accept forgiveness freely offered in the gospel.”
“O if I could only see him,” she exclaimed. She asked her father to invite the strange preacher to the house, and her wish was granted. Again the family were assembled, as the strange preacher entered the room. The dying girl, raising herself, appealed to him: “Can you tell me what I must do to obtain rest for my soul, and die at peace with God?”
“I’m afraid I can’t.”
“Is there no hope for me?”
“Wait,” he said, “though I can’t tell you what you can do to be saved, I can tell you what has been done for you!
“Jesus Christ, the Saviour-God, has completely finished a work by which lost and helpless sinners may be righteously saved. God, who is love, saw us in our lost state. He pitied us, and in love and compassion sent Jesus to die for us.
“ ‘God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.’
“He shed His precious blood on the cross in the place of sinners, so that they might be pardoned and saved. ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.’ ”
“And I have nothing to do?”
“Nothing, but to believe. No doing, working, praying, giving, or abstaining, can give relief to the conscience burdened with a sense of guilt, or rest to the troubled heart. It is not a work done in you by yourself, but a work done for you by another, long ago. Jesus has completed the work of our redemption. He has said. “It is finished.” Through faith in Him you have pardon. It is impossible to add anything to the perfect work of Christ. Doing is not God’s way of salvation, but giving up on doing, and believing what God has already done for you. God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son:”
“I do believe that Jesus died on the cross for sinners; but how am I to know that God has accepted me?” she asked.
“Jesus the God-man has gone up into heaven. He has been accepted for us; and when you believe, you are accepted in Him.”
Listening eagerly, she received the Word of God, which revealed Christ to her. Looking upwards she exclaimed, “O, what love! what grace!”
Soon after she went home to be with Jesus, triumphant and rejoicing in her salvation.

Long ago a judge named Pilate asked, “What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?” (Matthew 27:22).
Did it ever occur to you that everyone must answer this question? You must answer it. I must answer it. It’s the most important question we will ever answer. God requires an answer. Our whole future depends upon our answer. I cannot answer for you and you cannot answer for me. Each must answer for himself. We must answer since God holds each of us personally responsible to accept Jesus the Saviour.
You and I need a Saviour, “for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). In spite of our terrible condition, God has provided in His Son a Saviour for those whom He has shown to be guilty. “God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
The Lord Jesus Christ by His suffering and death met every just and holy claim God had against sin. “He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities. . . . All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all” (Isaiah 53:5-6).
God’s work of redemption was finished at the cross. The great sin question was settled.
The question now is, What will you do with the Man Christ Jesus?
There is no way to avoid the question. To ignore it or neglect it is to reject Him who died to be your Saviour. Your only hope is to acknowledge that you are a guilty sinner.
While Pilate faced Jesus in his chambers, his wife sent him the following message: “Have thou nothing to do with that just man”
(Matthew 27:19). Later Pilate tried to excuse himself by washing his hands before the assembled crowd and saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this just person” (Matthew 27:24). They both in their own way tried to avoid the issue. Are you trying to avoid the issue as well? It did not work for them and it will not work for you or me.
We may meet Christ now as our Saviour, or we will face Him after death as our Judge. “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27). “He [God] hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man [Jesus Christ]” (Acts 17:31). I know Him as my Saviour. Do you?
What Will You Do With Jesus?
The question is not, Have you been baptized?
Have you joined the church? Are you doing the best you can? Are you sincere? Have you accepted a certain doctrine or creed?
No, it is a divine, living Person, the Son of God, that is before you, the One who said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me” (John 14:6).
Have you received the Lord Jesus Christ as your own personal Saviour? Are you trusting in His shed blood and work on the cross alone for salvation? Or are you trusting in your good works, your morality, and what you are doing for God? If you have not as yet received God’s Son as your Saviour, then God says in His Word that “all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6).
The all-important question is, Have you accepted Jesus Christ, God’s remedy for lost and guilty sinners?
“As many as received Him [Christ], to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:12).

WHAT WILL YOU DO THEN WITH JESUS?

The patient was known to be dying. All that doctors, medicine, and hospital care could do had been done, and nothing remained but to make his last days as comfortable as possible. The doctor, a caring, compassionate person, stopped often by the hospital room for a “cheering-up” visit.
One day at the end of a “real up-beat visit” the doctor casually asked, “Is there anything I can get for you?”
Wearily the patient answered, “How about something to take away the fear?”
There was no answer.
Medical science has no answer.
There is a whole arsenal of drugs and treatments to cure disease or to alleviate physical symptoms, but nowhere is there a specific drug to cure fear.
There is only One who can truly cure fear: the Lord Jesus Christ.
“Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death… that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man…. and deliver them, who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage” (Hebrews 2:9,15).
He can not only take away the fear, but He removes the cause of it. Death is no longer a terror if we can receive a life that is beyond death and the grave.
The Lord Jesus promises absolutely that, “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?” (John 11:25-26).
Do you believe this? Do you believe John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life”? Do you accept “the gift of God… eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord”?
If you can honestly say, “Yes — yes — yes” to these questions, if you can truly call the Lord Jesus Christ your Lord, and say, “He tasted death for me,” why should you fear?
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear” (1 John 4:18).
