Children's sermons
To illustrate this thought prepare two hearts made of cardboard. One
should be red; this stands for man. The other card should be white;
this represents God. Make this heart a little larger than the red
heart. Make it of double cardboard and open at the top. Hold up the
red heart in the left hand and the white heart in the right hand.
Hold both hands far apart, bearing in mind that the red heart stands
for man and the white heart for God.
Now say that God calls the red heart to come to him, to repent of sin
and forsake all evil ways, and to love him ever afterward with the
whole heart. The truth is he asks for your whole heart, which means
your full and perfect love. He will hide you in his great heart of
love. As you make this remark cause both hearts to approach each
other. You will notice that the white heart moves toward the red
heart, this is to make clear the fact that God meets us always _half
way_.
The only time God was ever in a hurry was when he ran out to meet the
returning Prodigal Son. He is anxious and yet more than anxious to
meet half way the soul who will seek him and wants to love him with
all his heart. Now let the hearts approach each other and when they
meet let the red heart slip into the white one, and say: "God is
ready to receive the believer who wishes to be lost in his love. This
is perfect love. This is loving the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy
mind, and thy neighbor as thyself."
This is finding the North Pole of the Bible.
Now fasten the white heart containing the red heart on the Pole. God
will give us large wings of Faith which can endure the long hard
flight to the North Pole of the Bible.
There we will find Jesus, this is where he lives, in the perfect love
of God. In the Book of Life, which is God's Blue Book of "Who's Who
in the Kingdom," you will find written in letters of gold the names
of those who had perfect love and so have reached the North Pole of
the Bible.
Jesus asks us so to do. "Let's go."
