"JUST JESUS AND ME"
Illustration★★★★I read somewhere that a traveller came on a clearing in the backwoods of one of the Southern States, where The Art of Sermon Illustration a little hut stood, and a poor old woman, bent double with age, was gathering sticks for a fire. “Do you live here all alone, auntie?” he said. “Yes, massa,” she replied; “just Jesus and me.” There are some souls to whom Christ is so real that they need none else (John xv. 14, 15).
Rev. F. B. MEYER, B.A.
The point
An elderly woman living alone in poverty said 'just Jesus and me,' showing that for some souls, Christ alone is companionship enough.
