A LITTLE girl named Charlotte began going to Sunday School at a very early age. She went with the older children of the family, so her mother knew that she would be taken care of.
As she was such a tiny girl, she was given a little verse to learn, or rather a part of a verse. It was "God is love".
She had no trouble in remembering it, and went home repeating it to her mother. Her childish heart seemed to take delight in it, and she would say it over several times just before she went to sleep.
How many passages of Scripture tell the same story—that God is love, and how dearly He has proved it in sending His Son to be our Saviour.
And we all need a Saviour, even the little ones. His atoning death must avail for them as well as those who have come to years, else they could not dwell with Him in His home of light and purity.
So we can get a little glimpse of what we owe to the Lord Jesus in becoming our sin-bearer. Indeed this will be the theme of the song of the redeemed forever.
How many little ones will be in that vast throng that will give praise to the slain Lamb.
We trust that the hearts of the children will be touched by the love of God that spared not His own Son, and that each one will accept the Saviour as his own. That is the way to profit by the death of
Christ—by simple faith in Him. His words are:
"He that believeth on Me, bath everlasting life". John 6: 47.
"And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue and people, and nation; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth." Rev. 5:9, 109And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. (Revelation 5:9‑10).
