I DO NOT think I can be one of Jesus’ lambs,” little Philip sobbed out, as he lay in his father’s arms.
“And why so?” inquired his father.
“Because I do not feel I am,” Phil replied.
After trying in various ways to comfort the heart of his little boy, and yet being very anxious not to say one word which should lead his child to think lightly of what it is to be a sinner, his father repeated this text: “The blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanseth us from all sin.” 1 John 1:77But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (1 John 1:7). These words satisfied the child at once. Do you, dear young friend, know their sweetness?
