Johnny had been given a tract. He read haltingly: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:1616For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16).
"Who-so-ever, whosoever," repeated Johnny.
"Yes, whosoever means anybody who wants to believe."
"You mean `me'?"
"Me—me. He loved me. He gave Himself for me." There was a silence. "Whosoever believeth in Him— me. Lord, I believe."
There was silence for a moment. Then Johnny's friend began a prayer of thanksgiving which Johnny ended with: "Lord Jesus, thank You for loving me and dying for me."
Have you ever realized that "whosoever" means "me"?
