Children Receive Jesus Easier Than Adults
Note The Statistics Below About
The Importance Of Child Conversion
Dr. MR DeHann (founder of the Radio Bible Class and Editor of Our Daily Bread) once quoted these startling figures of the last century. After the age of 35, only one person in 50000 receives Jesus. After 45, only one in 300000. After 75, only one in 700000. Most people after the age of 45 are set in their ways and usually reject Jesus. Most of the people that got saved after Brother Bob witnessed Jesus to them were under the age of 25. And most of them were waiters and waitresses at Cracker Barrel restaurants that Brother Bob witnessed Jesus to during his travels preaching.
This is why parents and preachers need to tell young people everywhere under the age of 25 about Jesus. Most schools and teachers in America have removed Jesus from the classes. Kids don't pray anymore and teachers are not allowed to have bibles in their classes. The only hope for kids today is for parents and preachers to share Jesus with them and win souls. Remember the words of our Lord Jesus at Matthew 19:14 Suffer little children and forbid them not to come unto me for such is the kingdom of heaven.
Scottish minister and hymn writer Dr. Horatius Bonar said of the 253 converts with whom he was familiar-Saved under 20 years of age-138 Between 20 and 30 years-85 Between 30 and 40 years-22 Between 40 and 50 years-4 Between 50 and 60 years-3 Between 60 and 70 years-1 Over 70 years-Not one. But remember there is always hope for anyone to be saved while they are breathing. I've seen 70, 80, and 90 year olds get gloriously saved after years of witnessing.
My friend David Epps told about how his dad got saved. His dad told David Epps he did not want to hear anything about Jesus. After his dad was in a wheelchair, Jesus told David to witness and beg his dad on his knees to accept Jesus. His dad cussed him out and told David to leave his room. But the next week, they rolled David Epps' dad into a revival where he was preaching, and his dad got gloriously saved when he was over 80 years of age. Like David Epps, keep witnessing Jesus to your unsaved family members ignoring the rejection because eternity is too long to be lost in hell.
Don't quit witnessing Jesus to everyone of all ages. Tell everyone everywhere to get saved, repent, confess Jesus to be God, and believe that Jesus died for them on the cross, was buried, and rose again. You might get slandered and persecuted by lost sinners. But rejoice because our temporary persecutions will be forgotten when we rejoice in heaven forevermore for sinners that got saved by our persistent witnessing for our Lord Jesus.
Be like DL Moody who would not go to bed one night of his life unless he talked to at least one soul that day about becoming a christian and being born again. Every day he would not go to bed unless he confronted a human being somewhere in his path of life about their need to be saved. And DL Moody led over 100000 people to Jesus all over this earth.
Remember Luke 15:10 tells us there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. And James 5:20 tells us that he which converteth the sinner form the error of his way shall save a soul from death and shall hide a multitude of sins. And finally Jude 22-23 tells us And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
What Is The Value Of A Soul?
Matthew 16:26 tells the answer to the question what is the value of a soul? The blessed scripture says For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? In other words the value of a soul is worth more than all the silver, gold, riches, money, and real estate in this world. A saved soul in peace forevermore with Jesus in heaven is worth more than the wealth of the richest billionaire on this earth.
Let's take a look at a rich man named Dives who was one of the wealthiest men to ever live and learned about the value of a soul. The bible tells us that Dives died and went to hell after he refused to help a begger named Lazarus by denying him a crumb of bread. But when Lazarus died he was comforted in paradise.
After Dives died, his five brothers were fighting over who would inherit his wealth. Now note that the rich man Dives in hell wasn't worried about his real estate or his millions of dollars in the bank. Dives was only concerned about the souls of his five lost brothers on earth. His five brothers souls were worth more to Dives than all the millions of his dollars and earthly wealth. Truly Dives learned that what shall it profit his five brothers if they gained the whole world and lost their souls.
Dives said at Luke 16:27 I pray thee therefore father (Abraham) that thou wouldest send him (Lazarus) to my fathers house. For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said Nay father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
And We Thought We Were Big
We live in a fantastic universe. Our sun is so large that it could contain 1000000 worlds the size of our earth. And there are stars in space so large that they could easily hold 500 million suns the size of ours. The giant star pictured above named Antares is said to be so large that if it were a hollow ball and the sun and earth were put inside it, the earth could continue its orbit around the sun and never come even close to the outer edge of Antares.
And note that the earth is traveling at a speed of 67000 miles an hour around the sun while the earth's equator is turning at 1000 miles an hour while the earth wobbles each year at a 22 degree angle. In other words the earth is moving 18.5 miles every time I snap my finger around the sun. And all this is happening while the earth revolves around the sun at a distance of 93 million miles away. And while all this is occurring the sun and the nine planets of our milky way galaxy, (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) are moving north at a speed of 43000 miles an hour.
Search Google for this information and you will be amazed at these facts causing you to praise our Lord Jesus for His infinite power that is unsearchable. Romans 11:33 declares O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God. How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out. Our Lord Jesus tells us at Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

And what's even more amazing is that NASA sent Voyager 1 and II to the end of the milky way galaxy past Pluto. Currently Voyager I has left the milky way galaxy and is in interstellar space between the next galaxy called Andromeda. Right now praise the Lord Jesus for all the galaxies that He created. There are other worlds and galaxies and life that exist outside of our earth. This is proven by Hebrews 2:2 that says (God) hath in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds (not just our world but many worlds). Right now praise our Lord Jesus and like David say Psalm 139:6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain unto it.
A Blessed Poem
I Said A Prayer For You Today
I said a prayer for you today
And know God must have heard
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke no word
I didn't ask for wealth or fame
I know you wouldn't mind
I asked Him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind
I asked that He'd be near you
At the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small
But it was for His loving care
I prayed for most of all
The only step forward for America
Is a step back to God
