This picture tells its own story pretty well. Puss has been in danger of losing her life; her faithful friend has come to her rescue, and he is now carrying her off to give her a chance to recover from the fright, and to rest a while.
It is a grand thing to save the life of anyone. The life of a cat does not seem of much account, yet it is much to the little thing itself, though it is only being brought back to its old own life again, and allowed a few more weeks or months, at most, of the same life.
The Lord Jesus, you remember, asked the question, which is better “to save life, or to destroy it?” He also said, He was the Good Shepherd, because He laid down His life for His sheep.
In order to save our lives, He gave up His own. But the wonderful thing is, that the life we get by faith, through His dying for us, is not the same life that we had before, but a new life, a life that is pleasing to God, so that He can receive us through the Lord Jesus, who has made atonement for our sins.
Do you think that God loves the Lord Jesus? Well, He says those who believe in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, are children of God; they have eternal life, and this life is in His Son. Are these not wonderful blessings?
