WE wonder if this dear boy would be ready to meet God, if he should die alone in the snow?
How would it be with you, dear one, if you were called to die today?
We all must know how uncertain life is. A great many die without a moment’s warning. If they have been trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour, they go straight to be with Him.
But if not, they are lost forever. Terrible fact!
If one is lost eternally, it is his own fault, for God has provided the Saviour for us, and what a blessed thing it is to be always ready to go, for we know not what moment we may be called. If we put it off to the last moment, our life here on earth would be a wasted one, and we had failed to respond to the love He had shown in giving His life for us on Calvary.
May you be enabled to say, “He died for me,” and “I love Him because He first loved me,” and then prove it in all your ways. It will not then be with fear that you will meet death, like the boy in our picture, but you will be happy and ready to go.
