We are having a Gospel Meeting at the congregation this week. Our guest minister is scriptural, clear, and practical. Something special happened at last night's session. The minister told us about a compliment he received from a child. The child told him, "I understood everything you said during your sermon." Our guest minister considered this a high compliment, and so do I. If one can make the gospel plain enough that a child can understand it, that's a blessing.
Anyway, at the end of last night's sermon, during the invitation song, a child of upper elementary school age walked forward with her grandmother. This little girl wanted to be baptized. Her grandmother assured our minister that the girl understood what had been taught. The little girl believes that Jesus is the Son of God and she wants to live the way God tells us to live. She was baptized. In his closing remarks, our minister reminded us of Matthew 19:14 and what Jesus says there about children.
I shed a couple of happy tears!
In Him,
Sylvia
