THESE two sisters have walked down the road to meet their brother as he comes from town, to find out if he has brought a letter to them from their mother who is away from home, and they are eager to hear from her.
You can see by the pleased look on their faces that he has told them that one has come for them.
There is One in heaven who has written you many messages in a book called the Bible; do you ever read His letters? He is One who loves you very much—far more than your parents do. His book is full of His loving messages—there He gives such kind invitations to all unsaved ones to come to Him, to have their sins put away.
“Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
“God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Now look at the last verse of that chapter—what an awful thing if you do not listen to the Saviour!
Turn to the tenth chapter of John. What beautiful promises are given in verses 28 and 29. Jesus says to those that put their trust in Him,
“I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand.”
And for those who have received the Lord Jesus Christ as their own Saviour, He tells them He is coming for them, and they shall live with Him forever.
