A squirrel has just scurried up the tree, and little Davie is watching to see if he comes down again. This reminds one of the verse in Isa, 18:22, which says,
“Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.” This makes it so simple that even the youngest of our readers knows what we mean when we say “Look”.
The Lord Jesus tells you that if you look to Him in simple faith,—telling Him that you want Him to cleanse you from your sins by His own precious blood, you will be saved. If you have not already looked to Him for the salvation of your soul, do so at once.
“Look, look, look and live,
There is life in a look at the Crucified One,
There is life at this moment for thee.”
And those of you who have already looked to, Jesus for the salvation of your soul, may remember something else for which we are told to “Look”. And what a sight that will be!
Someday soon, and it might be today, the Lord Jesus is coming in the air with a shout — and only those who are saved will hear that shout, and go up “to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” 1 Thess. 4:1717Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (1 Thessalonians 4:17).
Will you be ready when He comes?
