Uncle Tom and Aunt Lisa planned to take little Heather to the zoo on Saturday. “Be sure to be ready at 1:00 sharp,” they told her. “We’ll come by in the car then to pick you up.”
Heather woke up very early Saturday morning and asked her mother, “Is it time to go to the zoo yet?”
“Oh no!” said Mother. “It’s only 8:00.”
Heather waited on the front porch all morning, because she wanted to be sure to be ready on time. How happy she was when 1:00 finally came! Uncle Tom and Aunt Lisa took her to the zoo, and what a good time she had watching the lions, tigers, elephants and many other animals and birds.
For those who love the Lord Jesus, a happy time is coming too. It will be much happier than a trip to the zoo, because we are going to heaven to be with our Lord and Saviour forever!
Maybe even today all those who have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour will hear the shout that will call them away to be with Him. Would you be ready to meet Him if He were to come today? Have your sins been washed away in His precious blood?
How sad it would be if you were left behind, because terrible judgments are going to come on this world after the Lord Jesus has taken His people out of it! Run to the Saviour today for refuge and safety.
