You Never Know

When we were still living in Minnesota I gave a guy a penny with the 10 Commandments stamped on it. It’s a little witnessing tool that I used a lot back then. I saw him later on another day and he showed me that he had made it into a necklace!

A couple of years ago I was witnessing to a Jewish guy, but he didn’t give his heart to the Lord, and I just forgot about the talk and went on with life... until I got an email from him months later telling me he wanted to know more about Christianity!

Then this week in Mexico I got into a cab and the driver remembered me from another time I had been in Mexico. He brought up the fact that I had given him a gospel tract!

You just never know what will happen when you share the gospel with people. I know a story of a man who witnessed to people for 40 years and never heard of one person getting saved through his ministry until right before he died when he heard testimony after testimony of people who he had helped to bring to Jesus. Sometimes we get to see results, but sometimes we don’t. But if we continue to share the gospel no matter what, we may be storing up a lot of surprises for ourselves in heaven!
