Memory Verse: “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.” Revelation 3:2020Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:20)
Marco was a little boy who attended a sort of nursery school. There he heard how the Lord Jesus loves little children and came into the world to die on the cross for them.
One day in the middle of a lesson Marco suddenly said to his teacher, “I haven’t got Jesus in my heart.”
His teacher was quiet for a bit and then asked him why he needed Jesus in his heart.
“Because my heart is very dirty,” he replied.
“What do you mean, Marco? Is your heart dirty like your hands are dirty?”
“No, not that; dirty with sin—like when I fight, and kick, and tell lies.”
“Then what should you do, Marco?”
“You told us that Jesus died for us so He could come into our heart. I have to ask Him, and I want to do it now.”
At this point, another child asked, “How can He come into your heart? Does He come in by the mouth?”
“Of course not,” said Marco. “It’s a miracle.”
Open your heart, open your heart,
Open your heart to Jesus.
He knocks today; do not delay,
But open your heart to Jesus.
