Juiji was just five years old when his father died. His death made a deep impression on the little fellow’s mind. He would lay awake at night thinking about death and the great beyond.
The gods he was taught to worship gave him no comfort. He did not know about the true and living God and Jesus His Son. One day in despair Juiji cried out loud, “O God, help me. I am so helpless!”
At school the next day he asked his teacher, “What god helps us when someone dies?” His teacher said he didn’t know of any such god.
One day Juiji met a missionary who spoke to the little boy about the true and living God and His dear Son, Jesus, who died that we might live. How happy Juiji was to learn that Jesus gives eternal life to every one who owns and confesses Him as Saviour.
This was just what Juiji wanted, just what he had been looking for for so long. He trusted Jesus as his Saviour and Lord, and gave Himself up to serving Him. For many years he went about telling others of what Jesus had done for him and that He gives eternal life to all who receive him by faith into their hearts.
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish.” John 10:27,28.
