A baker is a man who sells bread. A watchmaker is a man who fixes watches.
A doctor is a man who helps sick people.
What is a saviour?
A saviour is one who saves! And yet I know of many boys and girls who look so surprised when we speak about being SAVED. “But we never hear about being SAVED at our Sunday School,” they tell us. Don’t you think that it is very strange when the Bible speaks so very much about the Lord Jesus as the Saviour, and so very often about being saved, yet so many boys and girls don’t seem to know whether they are saved or not?
The baker will sell you bread—if he has the bread.
The watchmaker will fix your watch —if it isn’t too badly broken.
The doctor will make you well—if he can.
The Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, can save you, and will save you; there is no “if” to it at all.
Why then are there so many boys and girls who are not yet saved? Because a great many boys and girls won’t let Jesus save them—that’s why. The Lord Jesus loves boys and girls, and He stretches His arms and invites them to come and accept Him as their Saviour. Every boy that I know who has ever come to Jesus has been very, very glad he came, and I want to ask you once more, while you read this paper, Will you let Jesus save you?
