EVANGELISTIC OPPORTUNITY °E THEYEAR..
“TIT' rank , would you do me a favor? JL Steve, an old friend of mine, is staying at a hotel in the city. We haven’t seen each other since boy hood days. As far as I know, he has never accepted Christ as his Saviour. I thought maybe you might go and talk to him. You could do it better than I.” Frank hesitated momentarily, then said, “ But I have never met the man, and furthermore, I know nothing about him. Wouldn’t it be rather abrupt for me to go and talk to him about accepting Christ as his Sav iour?” Both men were silent for a while, then Frank said, “ I will go and invite him, at least.” He inquired at the hotel desk, then went directly to Steve’s room. He knocked at the door and after he waited a moment, there was a reply. “Who is it?” Frank waited again. Finally the door opened. A middle- aged, kindly-looking man asked him to come in. Frank introduced him self and for some time they talked about their mutual friend, and old home surroundings. After a pause, Frank said, “ Steve, I have some thing else to tell you.” He related how through an invitation to receive Christ as Saviour, his life had been totally changed from that of an am bitious young man, anxious to get ahead in this world, to a new direc tion and a new power to live for God. When he had finished, both were quiet. Then Frank continued, “ Steve, if you have never done so, and are interested, why don’t you give God a chance in your life?” Steve’s reply was, “ I am interested.” From God’s Word, Frank showed him the sim plicity of meeting God and asking Him to come into his life. He con cluded with, “ Steve, why don’t we just ask God to do the same for you that He did' for me?” Without a word, Steve slipped to his knees. It was little different from anoth er situation where Peter responded to a request to go and talk to a Ro man centurian, Cornelius. In sim plicity and earnestness, Peter told the story. Cornelius accepted Christ. There are others like these men. Ask your Lord to send you to some one—to invite him to Christ. FEBRUARY, 1965
