This is what you would call a “drive-by” witnessing encounter. Manuel and his girlfriend were walking towards Sawyer (my 14-year-old son) and I on Sunday afternoon. Manuel and his girlfriend looked to have a mission but I stopped them with a “Smart Card” tract.
I could tell by their body language that I had very little time with them – In addition to the fact that they said they had to go back to Bakersfield shortly. Christian, be ready to give a short version of the Gospel if need be – it’s a seed that God can use to save someone’s soul.
Listen closely to Manuel’s tone and in the manner he answered the opening questions. After we went through the Law, his facial expressions changed and even his answers became a bit more humble.
Psalm 19:7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul…
Manuel’s girlfreind was standing there listening as well. Both of them seemed to soften as our short conversation progressed towards the Cross of our God and Savior Jesus.
Christian, IT IS GOOD NEWS – still, to this very day – IT IS GOOD NEWS! I never tire form hearing it. Jesus bore my sin and shame on the Cross of Calvary. He lifted the curse of the Law from me and His righteousness is acredited to my account. In Him I’m forgiven! The lost sinner, God-hating, rebel can be transformed through the sharing and preaching of this GLORIOUS MESSAGE.
Help these lost ones see their need for the blood-stained Cross of Jesus. With the authority of God’s Word, command them to repent from sin and have faith towards Jesus Christ.
Pray for Manuel and his girlfreind.
