“ TTs i t im p o r t a n t that I go tonight? JL It has been a hard day and this is a long drive.” Yet he* would not hesitate to go if this were an impor tant business engagement. This was a call on a friend seriously ill, who had not made a decision to receive Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour. If Mr. White did not go this evening, he didn’t know when he would have an opportunity again. So he made the trip of sixty-five miles to present Christ once more to his friend because of deep concern for his spiritual welfare. He had spoken to him several times before with no apparent result, but on this particular evening the friend respond ed to the invitation to make the great decision. Succeeding events verified Mr. White’s deep concern. Truly it was his last opportunity to ask his friend to decide for Christ. But why should we be so con cerned about others? Because there is no one else except those who realize the great urgency to receive God’s redeeming grace in their lives. It is more than a passive interest in our friends and associates. It is a sense of deep responsibility induced by the Holy Spirit. It is making us aware of our responsibilities. It is God’s way of alerting us to an occasion for spirit ual service. Maybe a Sunday school pupil has been crowding in on our attention. A situation in a friend’s life may have prompted us to consider his spiritual welfare. It may come suddenly in a casual conversation with an acquaint ance that we should speak for our Lord and provide the occasion for a decision for Him. Sometimes it may seem out of place, but it is rarely the wrong time or too difficult. Our concern should be the indication that God’s Spirit is directing us to speak for Him. The story about the lost sheep didn’t tell how many hours it took the shepherd to find the sheep. Nor did it say how tired the shepherd was when he found the sheep. It does say that he was concerned about the lost sheep and went out and found the one that was lost. It also says, “ He returned rejoicing.” Act on your concern! Act! Act now!
