LIVING RIGHT

JESUS IS COMING BACK

I Will Return Long ago when Jesus lived on this earth many people were blessed by His presence and the wonderful words that He spoke about their life and how to make things better and be happier. Our Lord Jesus healed many sick people of all kinds of diseases. The news spread rapidly throughout the land of His great power. Jesus did not plan to be on earth very long. The rulers of the people could not stand to see their popularity being diverted to have the people paying so much attention to this new teacher that was going throughout the country preaching different things than what they taught. The works and lessons of Jesus were packed into just a few years. The hatred for Jesus grew so strong they planned to put Him to death. They did not like Jesus because he was so perfect and good and they knew how wicked and evil their own lives were. When Jesus died on the cross and He was not in the temple when the multitude of people came and brought the sick folk to be healed they were so disappointed they could not find the great Healer at a time they needed Him so much and He was lying in the tomb. The Life Giver Himself arose from the dead to show that the faithful and obedient also will rise from the dead. Forty days later Jesus was on the mount with the people and they saw Him going up into the sky in the clouds. There were many angels in that cloud and two of them came to the people and said this same Jesus is going to come back again in the clouds just as He went away in the clouds. So now they were rejoicing to know their Master would come back to get them to live in those mansions He told them about that He has prepared for them in heaven. They had their mission laid out before them to tell the whole world someday Jesus would return to plant earth to take His people out of this sin sick world and take them home to those glorious mansions in heaven. What a promise for the faithful and obedient children who are studying their Bibles every day. This promise is for every person ever living on this world. The story of Jesus is never ending and will never grow old. Those who go to heaven will study the plan of salvation throughout the endless days of eternity. Get ready for the day soon to come when we will again see Jesus return in the clouds. Never will you be sorry you traveled this narrow road to heaven.

SHOW A LITTLE KINDNESS

A Glass Of Milk One day a poor boy, who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However when a lovely young woman opened the door, he lost his nerve and instead of asking for a meal, he asked for a drink of water. The young lady thought that he looked hungry, so she brought him a large glass of milk instead. He drank it very slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You do not owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught us to never accept pay for a kindness done.” “Then I thank you, from the bottom of my heart,” he said. As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was also strengthened. He had been ready to give up and quit, but was given the courage to go on. Years later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled, and they finally sent her to the big city where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. Dressed in his doctor’s gown, he bent over to look at her, and he recognized her at once. He returned to his office determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on he gave special attention to the case, and after a long struggle, the battle was won. On the day that his patient was to be discharged from the hospital, Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked it over, and then wrote something on the edge of the bill and sent it to her room. She was afraid to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for such a long and expensive hospital stay as hers had been. Finally she could endure the suspense no longer, and she opened the bill. Something scribbled in the margin caught her eye, and she read these words: “Paid in full with one glass of milk.” And it was signed by Dr. Howard Kelly. Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed, “Thank You, God, that your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands.” Each day as we pass through our humble lives, we never know when a kind touch, a word of encouragement and cheer or a humble act of generosity might give a discouraged, hurting human being just the lift that will make the difference in his or her life. Our harsh words can destroy someone and make them
