A DYING judge said to a pastor, “Do you know enough about law to understand what is meant by joint tenancy?”
“No,” was the reply; “I know nothing about the law; I know a little about grace, and that satisfies me.”
“Well,” said the judge, “if you and I were joint tenants on a farm, I could not say to you, ‘That is your hill of corn, and this is mine; that is your blade of grass, and this mine,’ but we should share alike in everything on the place. I have just been lying here and thinking with unspeakable joy that Christ Jesus has nothing apart from me; that everything He has is mine, and that we will share alike through all eternity.”
