— that was not the actual question, the real question was more meaningful and less cliché. A young man explained that his grandmother, a dedicated Christian that raised him like a mother, was nearing death. He had read a lot of the Bible to her because she was illiterate, but he himself was not a Christian. He wanted to know:
What can I share with her from the Bible to give her comfort and prepare her for her future suffering and death?
Wow! I certainly asked the Holy Spirit for help! I shared from Corrie Ten Boom and suffering, to God’s judgment of people, both the righteous and unrighteous from Ezekiel 18, and lastly how the thief on the cross found forgiveness (Luke 23:42)
Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you begin ruling as king!”
His two friends listened actively as I asked them questions about how they think God would judge the world.
Do pray for these Three Friday Friends and our Bible study! I think God desires to touch many through them.
