What can these eight little girls be doing? It seems they have come with flowers to present them to someone, and they have brought along their little pet, lamb and kittie, too. There is no expression of care on their faces; some seem thoughtful as to how their friend will accept the flowers: others anticipate their friend’s delight: others occupied with the whole appearance.
We wonder how many of these dear girls know the Lord Jesus Christ as their own Saviour. He gives eternal life to all who believe on Him, and know that He died for them on the cross.
It is only saved people, young and old, who have a right to be happy.
The Lord Jesus is coming again very soon, and He will call all of those who love Him, and take them to be with Himself, and change their bodies to be like His own body of glory.
If you are His, He will take you when He comes, but if you are not one of His, if you have not believed in Him, you will be left behind for judgment.
He says now, “Come unto Me.”
In the coming day He will say, “Depart from Me,” to those who would not come to Him now.
After He comes and takes away His own, those who are left behind will call, “Lord, Lord, open to us,” then He will have to say to them, “I never knew you: depart from Me.”
The word to His own is.
