Captivating Bible Stories for Young People, Written in Simple Language

Bible stories, English
More and more of that good help of the Holy Spirit is given to everyone
who comes, as our Lord bade, to take and eat and drink of the bread and
wine, by which we partake of the Body and Blood of Christ; and He gives
all that we ask to us if we pray to Him. For we belong to those nations
that the apostles were commanded to teach and baptise, and bring into
the fold; and we belong to Jesus Christ just as much as His own first
disciples did.
We are called Christians, after His name; and all the time we live
here, He takes care of us; and if we serve Him, He takes our souls to
be with Him in Paradise, when death parts them from our bodies.
QUESTIONS.
1. Who stays with us still? 2. When does He come to us? 3. What
does He come to us for? 4. Why did He teach the apostles to speak
languages? 5. Where were they to teach the nations? 6. What does
Gospel mean? 7. What is the good news? 8. Who belong to His kingdom?
9. What have we to do? 10. What are His laws? 11. Who will help us to
keep them?
THIRD READING.
"We, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new
earth."--_2 Pet. 3:13._
THE Lord Jesus Christ is coming again. We do not know when it will be;
but, sometime or other, He will send His angel to blow a trumpet; and
all that are in their graves shall hear His voice, and their souls will
come back to their bodies; and we shall all be alive again; and if we
have been good and holy, we shall be caught up to meet the Lord Jesus
in the air.
For then He will come, with all His holy angels, and will sit on a
great white throne; and all that have ever lived will be called before
Him, and judged for all the things they have done, and the words they
have said.
And then those that have gone on doing wrong, and never being sorry,
and never caring for the Lord Jesus, but have made Satan their master,
will be given to Satan, to be in misery in hell-fire for ever.
But those who have tried to do their best, and held fast to our Lord
Jesus, and prayed Him to wash them clean in His blood, will be taken
home for His sake. And they will have the happiest and most blessed
home that ever can be in heaven. There will be all brightness, and no
more pain, nor grief, nor sorrow; and the Lord shall wipe off all tears
from all eyes; and there shall be gladness and joy for ever and ever.
The old earth will be burnt up; but there will be new heavens, and a
new earth, all beautiful, with nothing that will hurt or spoil or fade,
but all lovely and peaceful.
And then there will be the great joy of singing the praise of God, who
made us, and saved us, and helps us to be good, for ever and ever.
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come!
Alleluia!
