We can't admire a man like that, but our Lord stands amongst us to help the needy, to strengthen the weak, to comfort the sorrowful.
"Oh," you say, "I have all I want. I'm not very poor, and I'm not sad, and I'm having a pretty good time just now."
Then you don't want to know your King?
Let me tell you that when He comes back again to this world He will either be your Judge or your Friend and Saviour. Which would you like best?
If you have refused to know Him down here, when He opens the gates of Paradise, the Golden City, and you press forward with the others who are going in, He will look upon you sorrowfully, and will say:
"I never knew you. Depart from Me."
And you will be shut out.
How sad! Why not now come to Him and belong to Him? Remember, He bought you with His precious blood. He knows it is difficult to be always good. He has been a boy himself, and knows how boys get tempted. And He stands close to you, ready to help you fight your battles over your besetting sins, longing to fill your young hearts with joy and happiness, wanting to show you that a life in His service is a hundred times happier than one lived in the service of the Devil, who wants to destroy your soul.
Will you lift up your hearts, and ask Him to show Himself to you?
Here is another thought for you. You don't make friends of a stranger in a moment, but you can fall in love at sight, and then the more you talk with a person, the oftener you see them, the better you know them.
