Listen

WITH great attention John (we will call him) listens to his little brother’s secrets. Very likely it does not amount to much, but no doubt he has great delight in thinking of some kind act he wants to show to his dear father or mother, and wants his brother to enjoy the thought along with himself. So John gives his ear fully to him, and takes it all in, and delights to please his younger brother because he loves him.
There is wisdom in listening to and going according to God’s Word, and if we love Him it will be our delight to please Him, and we shall reap good results from giving ear to God’s Word.
There is a question I would like to ask each one of my readers,
Where will you spend ETERNITY?
This question has often been asked, and many have never rested till they could say, It will be spent with the Lord.
Have you, dear children, considered this important question? If not, I beg of you to consider it NOW.
Jesus is able to save every sinner that comes to God by Him, (Heb. 7:2525Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. (Hebrews 7:25)). Jesus Christ is as able to save, as He is willing; and has promised not to cast out one sinner that comes to Him (Jno. 6:3737All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. (John 6:37)). Therefore, no sinner need be lost, even though he be the chief of sinners, because “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” 1 Tim. 1:1515This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. (1 Timothy 1:15).
If any refuse to obey the call of the Lord Jesus, —refuse to arise and turn to Him who loves sinners, and washes them from their sins in His own blood,—only condemnation awaits them.
May you not be one of those who will refuse to come to Him. Come to Jesus now, if you have not done so before, and then in all earnestness and affection, like the little boy in our picture, tell others of that same Saviour. Eternal happiness shall be spent with Him, for all those who believe on Him.
“GIVE EAR, O MY PEOPLE, TO MY LAW: INCLINE YOUR EARS TO THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH.” Psa. 78:11<<Maschil of Asaph.>> Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. (Psalm 78:1).
