DROPPING THE BURDEN

(The Elim Evangel) Christian Negro, carrying a bag of potatoes on his back, was asked by a skeptic: "How do you know that you are saved?" The Negro took a few steps and then dropped the bag. Then he said: "How do I know I have dropped the bag? I have not looked around." "No," replied the man. "You can tell by the lessening of the weight." "Yes," the Negro went on, "that is how I know that I am saved. I have lost the guilty feeling of sin and sorrow, and have found peace and satisfaction in my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ."
