Little Eric was one day playing with some toy blocks under the table. In the same room his mother was talking to his two older sisters, but as Eric was only four years old, she did not think he would pay any attention to what she was saying.
She spoke of the Lord Jesus dying on the cross for them and told them that they must believe it for themselves to belong to Jesus and be His children. As she finished speaking she said, “Yes, and Jesus died for Eric too, little as he is.”
That night when Eric knelt to pray beside his bed, he said his usual little prayer and then paused and added, “Thank You, Jesus, for dying for me.”
Eric is now a grown man and for years has been a faithful worker for the Lord Jesus. But he always says he was saved at the age of four, by HEARING and BELIEVING.
“Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto Me; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 19:14.
