A CHRISTIAN college professor was standing before his stents and was just about to begin his lecture, when he took a letter from his pocket. Said he: “I received this letter from one of your number. It is a heart-rending letter. It tells of the life of sin and shame of one brought up in a Christian home and among Christian friends. He asks me, ‘Sir, can your God save such a one as I?’"
Then the professor stopped a moment. “As I came along Princess Street this morning,” he said, “I looked up and saw flying across the heavens a beautiful fleecy white cloud. ‘How came you up there?’ I asked. The cloud seemed to answer, ‘From the slime and muddy pools of your great city I came, the sun with all his power came down and lifted me and purified me, and made me what you see me now to be.’ " The professor added: “If the young man who sent me this letter is here today I want to tell him there is One who is mighty to save, who stooped down and with His pierced hands laid hold of the lives of men and women broken and bruised by sin, cleansing them by His precious blood and making them new creatures in Christ Jesus. He is able to save just such a one as you have been.”
