It Stood The Test
“Charity [love] never faileth” (1 Corinthians 13:8).
Standing in a store window on Broadway in New York City, there used to be a battered old safe which bore the sign, “It stood the test — the contents were all saved.” It had been through one of the hottest fires New York City ever experienced. But the old safe had carried its treasures and contents safely through it all.
Perhaps there’s a reader who has just tasted in some little measure the Saviour’s love and fears that it will not last. You fear that it will not “stand the test.” Look back at Calvary’s cross! It stood the test. That love which stood the hottest fires of judgment, that love which many waters could not quench will NEVER fail. “Having loved His own which were in the world, He loved them unto the end” (John 13:1). His love has been tested, tried and found true.
If you are not saved, now is the time. God loves you; Jesus loves you. Come and receive His gift of eternal salvation. The invitation is, “O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him” (Psalm 34:8).
