Sit tight—and don’t move.”
“Click!”
There now, the picture is taken, and it looks as if each of these little ones held real still while the camera snapped.
It only takes such a tiny moment for the camera to click, that it must be about as fast as the twinkling of an eye.
And there is something else that is going to happen just that fast, one of these days. Can you guess what it will be? Something very wonderful.
The Lord Jesus is coming to call all His own to meet Him in the air, and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Every little boy and girl, and every big boy and girl, and every man and woman that believes that Jesus was punished for their sins, and died instead of them, will be suddenly caught up into heaven, and not a single one who trusts in Him will He leave behind. Doesn’t that make you glad to know that He won’t forget one single one, because we are too precious to Him, and He paid too much for us and loves each one too dearly to ever let us go?
Won’t it be grand to find ourselves all together up there, and best of all, to see with our very eyes and touch with our very hands, our Saviour, the preous Lord Jesus! He tells us to watch for Him, and to wait for His coming. Maybe some one thinks it takes bright eyes and sharp ears to be looking and listening for Him all the time, but it doesn’t. Even a poor blind or deaf peon can be doing so with their heart, because they love Him and are longing for the moment they will he with Him.
