A LITTLE boy, N. by name, living in the city of C., was accustomed when writing to his relatives, to add a verse or two of Scripture at the bottom of his letter, without saying anything as to why he had written them or what he saw in them for himself. He often tells of the Sunday school, his joy to hear of Jesus, and his great delight to read of Him in “Messages of Love.”
When writing to his brother, a short time ago, he as usual, placed a verse of Scripture at the end, and at this time it was: “Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.” John 6:37.
When his brother asked him what he saw in that verse, his answer was: “By this verse, I know that I can come to Jesus and He will not cast me away.” And after he had written: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life,” (John 6:47) he said: “By this I know that I have everlasting life, because I believe on Jesus.”
I wonder how many of our little readers can, like N., say that they have everlasting life, because they believe on Jesus.
Do you believe on Jesus, that He died for you on the cross—for your sins? If so, He says that He will not cast you out, and that you have everlasting life. Can you not believe what Jesus, the Son of God, says; that One, who loves you and died to save you? Come to Jesus, tell Him you are a sinner, believe on Him, and eternal life is yours. Jesus says:
“Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Matt. 11:28.
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.” Matt. 24:35. W. S.
