Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at the church, the Pastor and his eleven year old son would go out into their town and hand out Gospel Tracts. This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold outside and raining. The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said, “OK, dad, I’m ready.” His “Pastor” dad asked, “Ready for what?”
“Dad, it’s time we gather our tracts together and go out.”
Dad responds, “Son, it’s very cold outside and it’s pouring down rain.”
The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking, “But dad, aren’t people still going to hell, even if it’s raining?”
Dad answers, “Son, I’m not going out in this weather.”
Despondently, the boy asks, “Dad, can I go? Please?”
His father hesitated for a moment then answered, “Son, you can go. Here are the tracts, but be very careful.”
“Thanks Dad!”
And with that, he was off and out into the rain. This eleven year old boy walked the streets of the town going door to door and handing everybody a Gospel Tract.
After two hours of walking in the rain, he was soaking wet. He had only one tract left and he walked up to a door and rang the door bell, but nobody answered. He rang it several more times, but no one answered the door. He began to knock on the door several times, but no one answered. He waited but still no one came to the door.
Finally, this eleven year old trooper turned to leave, but something stopped him. Again, he turned to the door and rang the door bell and knocked loudly on the door with his fist. He waited, something holding him there on the front porch. He rang again and this time the door slowly opened.
Standing in the doorway was a very sad-looking elderly lady. She softly asked, “What can I do for you, son?”
With radiant eyes and a smile that lit up her world, this little boy said, “Ma’am, I’m sorry if I disturbed you, but I just want to tell you that “JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU and I came to give you my very last Gospel Tract which will tell you all about JESUS and His great LOVE.”
With that, he handed her his last tract and turned to leave. She called to him as he departed. “Thank you, son! And God bless you!”
Well, the following morning in church Pastor Dad was in the pulpit. As the service began, he asked, “Does anybody have a testimony or want to say anything?”
Slowly, in the back row of the church, an elderly lady stood to her feet. As she began to speak, a look of glorious radiance came from her face, “No one in this church knows me. I’ve never been here before. You see, before last Sunday, I was not a Christian. My husband passed on some time ago, leaving me totally alone in this world. Last Sunday, being a particularly cold and rainy day, it was even more so in my heart that I came to the end of my line where I no longer had any hope or will to live. So I took a rope and a chair and ascended the stairway into the attic of my home. I fastened the rope securely to a rafter in the roof, then stood on the chair and fastened the other end of the rope around my neck. Standing on the chair, so lonely and brokenhearted, I was about to leap off when suddenly the loud ringing of my doorbell downstairs startled me. I thought, “I’ll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go away.”
I waited and waited, but the ringing doorbell seemed to get louder and more insistent, and then the person ringing also started knocking loudly. I thought to myself again, “Who on earth could this be? Nobody ever rings my doorbell or comes to see me.” I loosened the rope from my neck and started for the front door, all the while the bell rang louder and louder.
When I opened the door and looked, I could hardly believe my eyes. There on my front porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy I had ever seen in my life. His smile, oh, I could never describe it to you! The words that came from his mouth caused my heart that had long been dead, TO LEAP TO LIFE as he exclaimed with a cherub– like voice, “Ma’am, I just came to tell you that JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU.” Then he gave me this Gospel Tract that I now hold in my hand.
As the little angel disappeared back out into the cold and rain, I closed my door and read slowly every word of this Gospel Tract. Then I went up to my attic to get my rope and chair. I wouldn’t be needing them anymore. You see– I am now a Happy Child of the King. Since the address of your church was on the back of the tract, I have come to personally say, “Thank You to God’s little angel who came just in the nick of time and spared my soul from an eternity in hell.”
There was not a dry eye in the church. And as shouts of praise and honor to the KING resounded off the very rafters of the building, Pastor Dad descended from the pulpit to the front pew where the little angel was seated. He took his son in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably.
Probably no church has had a more glorious moment, and probably this universe has never seen a Papa that was more filled with love and honor for his son…. Except for One. This Father also allowed His Son to go into a cold and dark world to win the lost. He also received His Son back with Joy unspeakable, and as all heaven shouted praises and honor to The King, the Father sat His beloved Son on a throne far above all principalitity and power and every name that is named.
