Have you ever thought how even a little kernel of corn can
remind us of the Lord Jesus Christ and of His work for us on the cross?
A kernel of corn, you know, is a seed. And on the inside
of the little seed there is something so wonderful that no one in the whole
world, not matter how wise he may be, can make it. That wonderful thing
is LIFE.
If we should place the kernel down into the moist, warm soil
and cover it, something very interesting will happen. In the darkness the
outside body of the little seed will die and a new plant will begin to
grow. Then, before very long, the growing plant will burst through the
top of the ground to enjoy the sunshine and rain from heaven. It will
grow and produce ears of corn. These contain many new little kernels just like
the one that was planted and died. One seed died so that a great many
others may live!
So, you see, that’s why the little kernel o corn reminds us
of the Lord Jesus Christ and of His work on the cross for us. He died for
our sins; He was buried; and He rose again according to the Scriptures (See 1
Corinthians 15:3,4). Because of His death, we who have trusted in Him as our
own personal Lord and Saviour have received EVERLASTING
Look up John
But remember! You must receive the Lord Jesus Christ
personally as your Saviour before you can have EVERLASTING
“As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become
the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.” John 1:12
Only a step
to Jesus!
Then why
not take it now?
Come, and
thy sin confessing,
To Him,
thy Saviour, bow.
Chorus:
Only a
step, only a step,
Come, He
waits for thee,
Come, and
thy sin confessing,
Thou shalt
receive a blessing,
Do not
reject the mercy
He freely offers
thee.
Only a
step to Jesus!
Believe,
and thou shalt live;
Lovingly
now He’s waiting,
And ready
to forgive.
