The father was an earnest Christian. The son was a nice young fellow, but not a true Christian.
“I’ll take him to K., and probably there he will become a Christian.” He went, heard a number of preachers, but remained unaffected.
One morning, taking a stroll before breakfast, he came across a poor man in one of the lovely country roads.
Kindness of heart prompted him to offer the poor man some money.
“No, thank you,” replied the man. “I am rich beyond worlds.”
“Indeed.”
“Yes, I have Christ as my Saviour, Friend, and Hope.”
“Tell me more,” replied the youth; and what he did not find in crowds and great meetings he found in the country lane.
He found the Lord Jesus as his Saviour, Master, and Lord, and went on his way rejoicing.
Whether your parents are poor or wealthy—Have you found the treasure untold in our blessed Lord? Is He YOURS? If so, all is well now and forever more.
Now from the glory, He says, “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:2828Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28).
