I AM sure you would have loved little Minna, and if you had seen her sunny curls, blue eyes, and rosy cheeks, you would have said.
“There is a little pet.”
Minna was only five years old, but, though so young, she trusted in Jesus.
“Who did Jesus hang on the cross for?” asked her elder sister, who was herself a Christian.
“For me,” was Minna’s unhesitating reply.
One Sunday, in the class, her teacher said,
“Why did Adam and Eve hide behind the trees of the garden?”
“Because they were afraid of God.” Minna answered.
“Would you be afraid of God if He were to come into this room?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“Because Jesus died for me, and Jesus’ blood washed my sins away.”
Her favorite hymn was, “Ye must be born again.” Coming through a lovely leafy lane, her sister said,
“Shall we sing?”
“Yes,” said Minna; “Ye must be born again.”
Dear children, are you afraid of God? Or do you know, like Minna, that Jesus’ blood has washed your sins away? Come to Him. Trust in Him, and you shall be saved eternally.
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” Acts. 16:31.
