Have you ever thought how important it is to confess the Lord Jesus now? Have you ever told anyone that you have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your own Saviour, while you can?
Mr. Rogers spent all day sitting in a wheelchair, because he could not walk or use his hands. At one time he could ride his bicycle many miles, and he had even won some long bike races. It made him very sad to think about the things he used to be able to do. Now all he could do was sit.
Mr. Rogers also was unable to talk. At one time in his life he could talk and laugh like most of us can. Now a disease and an operation had made it impossible for him to make any voice sounds at all. He could hear when you talked to him, but he could not write and was too old to learn to respond any other way.
Mr. Rogers had two friends that spent a lot of time with him. They talked to him often about the love of the Lord Jesus and how He had died on the cross for his sins. Mr. Rogers would nod his head and smile, but he could not confess the Lord with his mouth. We all hope that he did accept the Lord Jesus as his Saviour. God knows all about Mr. Rogers. He knows if he has accepted the Lord Jesus as his Saviour.
But what about you? You do not have the problems that Mr. Rogers had You can talk. Have you accepted the Lord Jesus as your Saviour? Has He washed your sins away? If so, tell someone that He is your Saviour.
