A christian man sat in an outbound train from the city, when a young lady entered, singing a popular song, the words of which were all about a man, the song describing the character the man must be—he must be kind, he must be handsome, he must be rich, he must be loving, etc., every verse ending with the words,
“And that’s the man for me.”
The Christian listened until she had finished, and then asked, “
Well, have you found that man yet?” to which she replied,
“No, I’m afraid they’re few and far between.”
“I know a Man who answers in every respect to what you have been singing about. I was speaking to Him this morng, and moreover, He has an interest in you; in fact He loves you.”
“Loves me?” she inquired,
“Yes, loves you.”
Her curiosity being aroused, she asked,
“Well, what’s his name?”
“His Name is Jesus,” replied the Christian, to which nothing more was said, the girl sitting quietly till the end of her journey, which was one stop before the Christian’s. When the train came to a stop, she arose and went out. As she was closing the door she gently said,
“And that’s the Man for me.”
Permit me to tell you of “a Man” who has an interest in you; in fact He loves you. He loved you so much as to die on Calvary’s Cross in order to purchase and procure both Salvation and Forgiveness of sins for you. Listen to the words concerning Him,
You need forgiveness, because by birth, and practice, you are a sinner. If you die unforgiven, your eternal portion will be outside Heaven’s glory.
Do take the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour, and take Him NOW.
