It was near school time, and quite a number of boys and girls were around the schoolhouse door discussing last night’s children’s meeting. Various were the opinions expressed, when M. stood on the steps and said: “Look here, boys, I have found out something this morning—you can he saved just anywhere. All you have to do is to believe the gospel—believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. You have to look to Him and live, which just means the same thing. I knelt down at the bedside this morning, and I looked to Jesus, and now I can say I am saved.”
All eyes were on him as he finished this little confession of his faith, and there was a general approval of it, which was cut short by the school bell ringing, calling them to form into line, ready to march into school.
Have you, dear young readers, discovered this blessed fact—that if, as sinners, you come to Jesus, He will save you there and then, and will surely bring you to His eternal home?
If you have, do not be ashamed to own His blessed name.
“If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” Rom. 10:9.
