LOST!

A little girl whose baby brother had just died asked her mother where Baby had gone.

“To be with Jesus,” replied the mother.

A few days later, talking to a friend, the mother said, “I am so grieved to have lost my baby.”

The little girl heard her & remembering what her mother had told her, looked up into her face & asked, “Mother, is a thing lost when you know where it is?”

“No, of course not.”

“Well, then how can Baby be lost when he has gone to be with Jesus?”

“If you receive Him it will be well; if you reject Him and are lost it will be terrible.” -  D.L. Moody.

1 Cor 1:18 (CEV): “The message about the cross doesn’t make any sense to lost people. But for those of us who are being saved, it is God’s power at work.”
