One day a large bee flew through an open door into a house. It had lost its way and flew round and round the room trying to find a way out.
After flying about for several minutes it suddenly went, straight for a large mirror standing at one side of the room. It could see the trees and sunshine reflected in the mirror and thought that now it would be free. But, no! it was still a prisoner and it began to buzz louder than ever and to fly round the room again in search of a way out.
After a time someone took a duster and gently but firmly drove the bee towards the open door, and it flew away into the bright sunshine, glad to be free once more.
Now, little ones, we can learn a lesson from this bee. The bee knew it was in a wrong place, and tried to get out. But instead of flying through the open door it banged itself against the mirror, thinking the trees it could see there were outside.
There was only one way out and that was through the door. And there is only one way for us to be saved and that is through the Lord Jesus Christ, Who calls Himself the Door. He says,
“I am the Door: by Me if any man enter in he shall be saved.” John 10:9.
Even little boys and girls need to be saved, for they too are lost. That is why God has given us His holy Word that we may find there the way of salvation. The Lord Jesus did the work when He died for us on the cross, and all we need to do is to trust ourselves to Him.
“Jesus is the Way, the only Way, Lovingly He calls us, so the Scriptures say,
Whosoever will, let him come today, The blessed Saviour is the only Way.”
