33 : A Soldier Led to the Cross

Believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, he is saved!


I was seeking to lead a young soldier to accept the Lord Jesus Christ, but, like most men, he tried to evade the essential issue with the promise “I’ll think it over.”


“Harry,” I said, “let me illustrate. You are out with the boys some night scouting an enemy post. And on the way back you get hit hard. Another soldier stops long enough to pick you up and carry you back to your own lines, and for his trouble gets 2 bullets in the back. You are both taken to the hospital and by tender care are won back from the very jaws of death.


Two months later the doctor brings in a poor fellow who limps badly and moves with evident pain. They stop at your bedside, and the doctor says, `Harry, I want to introduce you to Bill Smith, the man who risked his life to save you.’ You fold your arms and say, ` I’m not sure I want to meet him. I’ll think it over.’ Now, you wouldn’t say that, would you? You would grasp him by the hand and try to tell him something of the gratitude you feel.


I want to introduce you to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Man who not only risked His life, but sacrificed it, to save you. And you propose to turn your back on Him and say you’ll think it over?”


“No,” he said, “I’ll accept Him.” Together we knelt while he told the Lord that he, with his whole heart, accepted Him as his personal Saviour.


Reader, are you also “thinking it over”? Putting off this vital issue may mean shutting yourself out forever from the super abundance of God’s salvation grace. Do not put off to a “more convenient day” what you can, and should, do today. For we “know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away” (James 4:14).


Thought: Come to Jesus today!
Prayer: Help my unbelief, O God. Let me come to You in repentance of my sins, to receive salvation.
