At the close of a children’s meeting, during which the preacher had spoken much of the love of Jesus, and what He had done out of love for sinners, a little boy was asked,
“Can you tell me what Jesus has done?”
With a bright smile, the little fellow looked up into the questioner’s face, and said,
“He died for me.”
Happy child! In the simplicity of faith he had believed the glad tidings concerning Jesus the mighty Saviour, and the value of that wonderful work Jesus finished on Calvary’s cross, was for him.
Dear boys and girls can you say the same in truth: can you say, like the beloved apostle Paul, “
“The Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me?”
How precious this makes Jesus to us, and how worthy He is of our confiding trust!
