When Philip was a little boy, he went to a country school house to Sunday school. A man who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ as his Saviour, went to this little school house every Lord’s Day afternoon, and told the children who came, about Jesus. And Phillip was one of the chiren who was saved. He now believes on the Lord Jesus Christ Who died for him and rose again that Phillip might go to be with Him for eternity.
Now Phillip is a man, and he still goes to the school house on Lord’s Day afternoons, but now he tells the children about Jesus, just like the other man did when he was a child. He tells them that Jesus loves them, and wants them to love Him, too.
How many of you children go to Sunday school every week? Perhaps there is someone waiting to tell you about Jesus. It is nice to read your “Messages of Love” papers each week to learn more of the Lord Jesus Who loves you.
You have all heard of Timothy, the voting man of whom Paul spoke, and who became a preacher of the Word. Is it not lovely to know, too, that he heard the Word when he was a little boy, his grandmother, Lois, and mother, Eunice, both telling this dear child of the wonderful Saviour that each knew and loved and teaching him the holy scriptures.
Do you wish to be wise? Then listen, “The holy scriptures are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” 2 Tithy 3:15.
Do you wish to be rich? One of old said, “The law of Thy mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and sinner.” Psalms 119:7272The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. (Psalm 119:72).
Children, seize every opportunity to hear the Word of God! To be under the sound of God’s blessed word, is the greatest blessing one can know in this life. Through this Word ALONE can we find life eternal, joy, peace, forgivess of sins, and all the boundless riches which are for you and me in Christ.
I beg of you to give earnest heed to these things NOW. Soon, soon, the Lord will come. If we have taken Him as our Saviour, we shall go to be with Him. If we have neglected to do this, then we shall be left for judgment. How solemn! Be wise therefore, in time.
