Pitfalls Learning to Accept Jesus
I, for myself, am not convinced I am right, nor am I that I might be wrong. We all speak for our own benefit, along with myself as well, of that I am certain.
I think it somehow significant that twice in my life I heard this identical sermon, the first time about to graduate high school and the second time in retirement.
First one was about this chap whose mother scrubbed floors to put her son thru college. She died and he had forgotten all about her. Sobbing, he fell weeping on her grave.
And the second was about a girl who ran away to the city for the attractions of loose living and returned asking her town to tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree if they wanted her to get off the bus.
Well I tell you these were two classic tear jerkers I've ever heard. No religious aspect was ever mentioned, not the Baby Jesus, nor any other possible religious aspect.
Yet, still and all, after both these two sermons everyone was suddenly asked whether anyone wanted to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.
I do not know what happened after the first event, we older kids were asked to step outside. But the second event was greeted with stone silence. That's all folks!
