August 30

I asked the Dutch girl who stood beside me on roll call, "Do you read the Bible?"

"No, never," she replied.

"Do you know the Lord Jesus?"

"Who is He?"

I told her about Jesus and how He died on the cross for the whole world. I asked her, "Do you ever realize that you need a Saviour? Are you what the Bible calls a sinner?"

"I know I am a sinner," she answered.

“If you have to die here, will you be ready?”

“No.”

“Jesus is the answer. He died for the sins of the whole world, and also for your sins."

My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought

My sin—not in part, but the whole

Is nailed to His cross and I bear it no more

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul

H. G. Spafford

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive our sins.

1 John 1:9 KJV

Lord, this is more than I can take in. What a wonderful Saviour You are!
