Stories that Only God Can Write – Use Them to Instill the Gospel Into Your Grandchildren

Tell me the stories of Jesus, write on my heart every word, tell me the stories most precious, sweetest that ever was heard. ~F. Crosby This is a song we sing often in church, but as an adult, do I really mean those words?

Do I crave the Word of God and all the wonderful stories written therein?

These are stories that only God can write.

If I, myself, do not desire to know God’s Word, then how can I portray these wonderful Bible stories to my grandchildren as the greatest stories ever told!

Here is another interesting song, that tells the story of a gypsy boy who never heard the gospel, until he was about to die and someone shared Jesus with him. It’s a great hymn with a great message.

I do not want my grandkids to be on their deathbed before they ever hear the gospel from my lips. I must teach them now about Jesus and the way to heaven.

Tell It Again
by Mary Bridges Canedy Slade

Into the tent where a gypsy boy lay,
Dying alone at the close of the day,
News of salvation we carried; said he:
“Nobody ever has told it to me!”

Refrain
Tell it again! Tell it again!
Salvation’s story repeat o’er and o’er.
Till none can say of the children of men,
“Nobody ever has told me before.”

“Did He so love me, a poor little boy?
Send unto me the good tidings of joy?
Need I not perish? My hand will He hold?
Nobody ever the story has told!”

Bending we caught the last words of his breath,
Just as he entered the valley of death:
“God sent His Son! ‘Whosoever,’ said He:
Then I am sure that He sent Him for me!”

Smiling he said, as his last sigh he spent,
“I am so glad that for me He was sent!”
Whispered, while low sunk the sun in the west,
“Lord, I believe, tell it now to the rest!”

God has written so many great stories from the Bible that can be used to explain the way of Salvation.

Start at the beginning with Creation and Adam and Eve. Wow! Right from the beginning we can show our grandchildren that we all need the gospel.
