Winnie was brought to know the Lord Jesus Christ as her Saviour when she was thirteen years old. She had often heard about the Lord Jesus, but one day as she was walking along the street she saw these words, written in chalk on an old board fence,
“Sinner, where will you spend eternity?”
You may know a great deal about the Bible and yet not be very happy about answering that question. Winnie tried to forget it, but all day long she thought of it, and soon could bear her trouble no longer. She went alone to her room and opened her Bible and got down on her knees. There she told God about her trouble, and turned to see what the Bible might have to say. She had learned John 3:1616For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) and could repeat it from memory, but she opened up her Bible and read it again.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Then and there she saw what she had not seen before. She saw that if she believed God and took the Lord Jesus as her Saviour, she could answer her question.
She was now filled with joy, and wanted to do something for the Saviour who had done so much for her.
From that day onward, she almost always carried gospel tracts with her wherever she went, and used to give them out on her way to and from school. I could tell you of many times that Winnie was used in blessing to other boys and girls, for she spoke of Jesus wherever she went.
“Sinner, where will you spend eternity?”
Can you say, “In heaven, with Jesus my Saviour?”
