A messenger ran into a Sunday school and, going to the boy's teacher, said, "Hurry as fast as you can! There's a boy wanting to see you. He is dying."
The teacher rushed to the place. There lying on a bed 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 his teacher, "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 short while 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.
Hope and Reason
An atheist has a reason, but no hope for his reason. A hypocrite has a hope, but no reason for his hope. A Christian has a reason for his hope, and a hope for his reason.
