DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

D.L. Moody shares a poignant story of a dying child who sees dark clouds
and mountains, expressing a desire to be carried over them. The mother
encourages the child to pray to Jesus, who alone can provide the comfort
and strength needed in such moments. As they pray together, the child
experiences a transformation, ultimately seeing Jesus come to carry him
over the mountains. Moody emphasizes that, like the child, we all face
mountains of sin and unbelief, but Jesus is ready and willing to help us
overcome them. The sermon calls on sinners to give themselves to Jesus
for salvation and support.

A lady had a little child that was dying. She thought it was resting
sweetly in the arms of Jesus.

She went into the room, and the child asked her, "What are those clouds
and mountains that I see so dark?" "Why, Eddy," said his mother, "there
are no clouds or mountains; you must be mistaken." "Why, yes, I see
great mountains, and dark clouds, and I want you to take me in your arms
and carry me over the mountains." "Ah," said the mother, "you must pray
to Jesus; He will carry you safely." And, my friends, the sainted
mother, the praying wife, may come to your bedside and wipe the damp
sweat from your brow, but they cannot carry you over the Jordan when the
hour comes.

This mother said to her little boy, "I am afraid that it is unbelief
that is coming upon you, my child, and you must pray that the Lord will
be with you in your dying moments." And the two prayed, but the boy
turned to her, and said, "Don't you hear the angels, mother, over the
mountains, and calling for me, and I cannot go?" "My dear boy, pray to
Jesus, and He will come; He only can take you." And the boy closed his
eyes and prayed, and when he opened them a heavenly smile overspread his
face, as he said, "Jesus has come to carry me over the mountains." Dear
sinner, Jesus is ready and willing to carry you over the mountains of
sin, and over your mountains of unbelief.

Give yourself to Him.
