I was seeking to lead a soldier to Christ, but he tried to evade the issue with, “I’ll think it over.” “Harry,” I said, “imagine you’re out scouting an enemy post. You get hit hard. Another soldier carries you to your own lines. For his trouble he gets two bullets in the back. You’re both taken to the hospital and won back from death. Two months later the doctor brings in a fellow who limps badly and moves with evident pain. They stop at your bed. The doctor says, ‘Harry, let me introduce you to the man who risked his life to save you.’ You fold your arms and say, ‘I’m not sure I want to meet him. I’ll think it over.’ Would you say that? No, you would take him by the hand and tell him how grateful you feel. I want to introduce you to the Lord Jesus, who not only risked His life, but sacrificed it, to save you. And you propose to say you’ll think it over?” “No,” he said, “I’ll accept Him.” Together we knelt while he told the Lord that he, at that moment, accepted Him as his personal Savior. —Robert Laidlaw
