Christian Bible Tracts - Sin and Sex

We have here the picture of a HAND. It is OPEN, thus showing that nothing is kept within its grasp, nor even concealed from sight. Some persons boast that they never "SHOW THEIR HANDS" in what they do. They love to appear SHREWD and SLY. But Jesus wants boys and girls to SHOW their hands in His service.

This open hand and the motto, and also the letters you see written upon the fingers, are intended to show that ALL we have should be given to the Saviour. It is said that, on the occasion of a missionary collection, a young man was so anxious to serve the Saviour that he wrote upon a card the single word "Myself," and dropped it into the basket. What a grand sentiment! MYSELF FOR JESUS. Nothing kept back - ALL given to Christ.

Children, open your hearts and give ALL the sympathy and love that throbs in them to the Saviour. Hear His voice, saying to you each: "Son, give me thy heart." Give it to Him ENTIRELY. Do not think that He will be pleased with just a little place in your heart, for He wants is ALL, and will have no rival. "The Roman soldiery chose Valentinian to be their emperor; afterwards they consulted how they might join a partner with him in the throne. On hearing this, the emperor replied, that, although it had been in their power to give him the empire, it was no longer in their power to give him a colleague." - BIBLICAL MUSEUM.

He wanted the WHOLE empire under his rule. So Jesus wants the WHOLE EMPIRE of the soul.

Children, go with OPEN hands to Jesus, and KEEP NOTHING BACK. Can you tell me who tried to "keep back part of the price," and received a terrible punishment for the crime? Yes, Ananias and Sapphira. How dreadful their doom! Keep back nothing that the Lord claims. Let your BRAINS THINK for Christ. Let your HEARTS beat with His love; let your EYES be fixed upon Him; let your HANDS bear His cross; Let your FEET walk in the "straight and narrow way." ALL your hearts for Jesus, NOW and ALWAYS.

TEMPERANCE.
