Most boys and girls find that the hook of Revelation is not very easy to understand. Indeed, I don’t ever remember taking any part of it with the girls in our Sunday School class, except for one week, and I shall not forget it.
We were reading in the first chapter, and when we came to the 5th verse we stopped for a while, wishing to talk of the preciousness of those words, “Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him he glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” After speaking for a while of the glorious knowledge of being cleansed from our sins by the blood of Jesus, finally asked whether there was one among them who could say “Amen” to those wonderful words, that is, to accept them as her own.
“Who of you rests your salvation entirely upon the blood of the Lord Jesus, so that you can say of Him, ‘He has washed me from my sins?’”
Of course, I could not look into the hearts of those young girls to see what was going on there, but that same day one of them came to me and told me that she had found the Saviour and had accepted His salvation.
“I just put my ‘Amen’ to that verse we had in our class, and took Jesus as my own Saviour.”
Will you do the same, dear young reader? Accept now the precious Saviour whose blood cleanseth from all sin.
