Anything in my line, ma’am?” The speaker was an old woman with a basket on her arm. She had crossed the street to ask me to buy some of her wares. I bought a bit of lace, and after paying for it, offered her a gospel tract and said, “Do you know the Lord Jesus?”
“Indeed I do! He’s my Saviour.” “How do you know that?”
“‘The blood of Jesus Christ (God’s) Son cleanseth us from all sin.’ God says it and bless His name for His mercy to me, I believe it and I am saved.”
“You are quite right. It is the precious blood that has cleansed away my sins too, so you and I are both saved. But how long have you known this?”
“I’m just six years old, ma’am. I shall soon be sixty-four, but I’m only a babe, for I’ve lived only six years. I spent fifty-eight years in my sins and serving Satan, but six years ago I came to the Lord Jesus and now all my sins are gone. So you see I’m only a babe.”
Perhaps you haven’t lived fifty-eight years in your sins. Jesus is waiting TODAY to wash away all your sins.
