Here's A Story For Your Bus This Sunday!

“PLEASE GET MY MOTHER IN”

Boys and Girls, our story today takes place on a cold rainy night, and it’s about a Preacher and a poor little girl. One cold rainy night, a Preacher was walking home and a little girl who was dressed in rags and walking down the street saw the man and said, “Mister…are you a preacher?” “Why yes, I am…”, he answered. “Would you come down and get my mother in?”, she asked. The Preacher looked at the little girl and said, “Well now listen, if your mother is drunk, you’d better go get the Policeman…that’s HIS job…I’m not dressed for the occasion,” said the Preacher quite coldly. “Oh no Preacher…she’s not drunk! She’s at home and she’s dying and she’s afraid to die…she wants to go to Heaven! Can’t you come and get her in??”, the little girl said. Well, the Preacher went with the little night crawler and they finally got to the place where the little girl and her mother lived. It was a very “slummy” area, but they went up some old rickety stairs and entered into an old dark, dingy room where there in the corner, lay this woman. The little girl ran toward the woman and said, “Mother, I got the Preacher for you…now you listen to what he tells you!” And that poor woman said, “Can you do anything for me?? I’m a terrible sinner and I’ve sinned my whole life away…and now I’m dying and I’m afraid because I know I’m going to Hell and I don’t want to go to Hell…can you do anything for me??” Well, this Preacher didn’t know what to say! He had always told people that if they turned over a new leaf and lived a better life and were more cultured and refined, they’d go to Heaven…but what good was it for him to tell this woman that? She wasn’t refined and she didn’t have time to reform and change her life, so he thought about what his own mother used to tell him, and he said, “I’ll just tell her what mother used to tell me and besides, it won’t hurt anyway…”. So he said, “Woman, god is very gracious and kind and in the Bible it says that He loved the world so much that He gave His only begotten son to die for them and if they will believe on him, they would not perish, but have everlasting life.” “Oh,” she said, “that should get me in, but what about my sins??” And to his amazement, he was quoting another verse and said, “…the blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from ALL sin…” “ALL sin did you say??, she asked. “Yes, ALL sin it says!” “THAT should get me in,” she said. “I’m going to take Him as my Saviour!” And right then and there, she took Him as her own personal Saviour…and so did the Preacher! Two of them got in that night! What about you? Have you “got in” yet? Have you trusted the Saviour? Do you know Him as your own? Maybe tomorrow will be too late…don’t miss God’s Salvation…trust Christ and be saved TODAY!
