A few years ago, a friend shared with me an unforgettable missions experience. As he taught Vacation Bible School in a neighborhood, one of the little children looked puzzled as the missionary began to share about Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection.
"Who is Jesus?" exclaimed the young boy. "I've never heard of him before. Does he live around here?"
How shocked was the missionary to encounter a 9 or 10 year old boy who never had heard the Gospel, and how amazed I was to learn that this story occurred in . . . Memphis, Tennessee.
May we never assume that the people around us understand the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We must be ready at all times to share the good news of eternal life in such a way that people can understand, turn from their sins, and trust in Jesus as their Boss!
