WHAT would you do if the Lord Jesus were to come at this moment?” was the question asked of a little girl.
“I would not run away and hide,” answered the child.
Would you “run away and hide,” dear young readers? or could you give the answer that a little girl in London gave to the same question:
“I would throw my arms around Him.”
Adam and Eve hid themselves among the trees of the garden. Why? Because they knew they were sinners, and feared to meet God.
A day is coming when people will cry to the rocks, and call on them to hide them from the wrath of the Lamb. They will then know that they are sinners, and have rejected the only Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, and they will be filled with terror when they think of His coming in judgment.
Only those whose sins are washed away in the precious blood of Christ, and who are made whiter than snow, are ready to welcome the One who has done it all, when He shall come, not in judgment, but to take them to Himself.
Dear children, would you welcome Him, or hide from Him, if He were to come today?
