Four little boys were talking about the flood. One, on being asked what he would have done if he had been living at the time of the flood, replied,
“I would have gone into my mother’s bedroom and shut the door.” The second said,
“I would have climbed to the top of a big tree.” The third said,
“I would have climbed to the top of a high mountain;” and the fourth said,
“I would have gone to the door of the ark, and said, ‘Mr. Noah, please let me in.’”
The first three boys, who would have tried to save themselves, would have been lost, and the fourth boy only, who would apply for admittance, would have been saved. Neither young nor old can save themselves. All who want to be saved must go to Jesus as their Saviour, and put their trust in Him.
