A messenger rushed into a Sunday school and, going to the superintendent, said, "Hurry as fast as you can! There's a boy wanting to see you. He is dying.”
The superintendent hastened to the place. There lying on a cot in a poorly furnished house was a boy who had been crushed by a car.
As he entered, the lad greeted him with, "Didn't I hear you say once, 'that whomsoever a fellow comes to Jesus, he would be saved"'?
"Yes," replied the visitor, "I said something like that.”
"Well," said the boy, "then it's all right, and I am saved! I have been a bad boy; I've been thinking about that. Now I'm just taking God at His word, so I'm saved." After he had spoken these few words his strength seemed to fail. A few minutes later he passed away. His last words were, "Whomsoever a fellow comes to Jesus, He will in no wise cast out.”
He did not quote the words exactly, but he had grasped the meaning of them and received them into his heart.
"For Christ also hath once
suffered for sins, the Just for
the unjust, that He might bring
us to God, being put to death
in the flesh, but quickened by
the Spirit.”
