Witnessing Wonders
The Bible says: “And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou
art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words
of truth and soberness. For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none
of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner. King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I
know that thou believest. Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether
such as I am, except these bonds.” Acts 26:24-29 (KJV)
One of the saddest passages
in Scripture. Praise the Lord for Paul’s courage to share Christ Jesus. Have you shared lately?
D.L. Moody writes: “I remember hearing of a man at sea who was very sea sick. If there is a time when a man feels
that he cannot do any work for the Lord it is then, in my opinion. While this man was sick, he heard that a man had fallen
overboard. He was wondering if he could do anything to help to save him. He laid hold of a light and held it up on the porthole.
The drowning man was saved. When this man got over his attack of sickness. he was up on deck one
day and was talking to the man who was rescued. The saved man gave this testimony. He said he had gone down the second time
and was just going down again for the last time, when he put out his hand. Just then, he said, someone held a light at the
porthole, and the light fell on his hand. A man caught him by the hand and pulled him into the lifeboat.
It seemed a small thing to do to hold up the light; yet it saved the man’s life. If you cannot do some great
thing, you can hold the light for some poor, perishing drunkard, who may be won to Christ and delivered from destruction.
Let us take the torch of salvation and go into these dark homes and hold up Christ to the people as the Savior of the world.”
