Luke 13:25-30 When once the master of the house is risen up, and has shut to the door, and you begin to stand without, and to knock at the door… "One day," says a lady, speaking of her early years, "when I was returning home, I saw my dear mother sitting on a bank in the orchard weeping bitterly. I thought she was weeping on account of my father's death. I went to her, and asked her why she wept so?

As well as I was able I pointed her to the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world; from that time the work of grace in her soul began."
