That is the message on the advertisement I am looking at (Coffee News, Vol 156:5).

The ad tells us that the Red Cross is training people in FIRST AID. It says there also that the Red Cross leads the world in First Aid Training.

“Know it before you need it.”

We cannot know enough and we cannot learn enough.

But there is one thing we really need to know and learn and that is the Teaching of the Bible.

The Bible tells us that THE DUTY OF THE PARENTS is training the children in THE WAY THEY SHOULD GO.

In John 14:6 the Lord Jesus Christ says that he is the WAY. He is not only the Way, he is also the TRUTH and the LIFE.

Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”

You may never need your First Aid Training, but you need the Lord Jesus Christ.
