-Jesus Left a Light Behind - bible

A small boy from a non-Christian home had been brought into the Sunday school. His mother was not only unsaved, but she had a mobid fear of death. After her little boy became interested in the Sunday school, he begged her to come to church with him, but she persistently refused his entreaties because she was afraid that the preacher might say something about death or dying.

On Easter Sunday, the teacher noticed the lad's rapt attention while she told the beautiful story of the risen Christ. The child hastened home with a shining face, and exlaimed, "Oh, Mother, you needn't be afraid of dying any more, for Jesus went through the grave and left a light behind Him!"

Gradually, the fear in her heart melted under the influence of her son's words about "the light behind Him."

Early one evening, she had put him to bed and heard him pray as he did nightly that God would make her a Christian, "and do it right quick!" he added.- prayer

Later that evening, a neighbor persuaded the mother to go to church. The Heaven-sent message brought conviction, and that night her little boy's prayers were answered!

The mother now knew she need not ever fear death, because "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord Jesus."

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
