A voice calling: "Is that Doctor Parker?”
"Yes, I am Doctor Parker.”
"Well, can you spare me a minute or two? I would be very grateful. I have been to several of your meetings, and last night I wanted to confess Christ. You explained it all so well, but something seemed to hold me back.”
"Well, friend," Doctor Parker said, "I am very glad to hear you are interested about your soul. Why don't you accept Christ as your Savior? You can do so right now just where you are.”
"Yes, I know that. But I am a very hard case. If you can make it plain to me, I will thank you very much.”
"Are you a sinner?”
"I am a great one.”
"But do you believe what God says?”
"Yes, sir; God is saying to me all the time, 'unless you are saved you will be lost'”
"But," Doctor Parker said, "God tells us something more than that we are sinners. He tells us that 'Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners,' 1 Tim. 1:1515This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. (1 Timothy 1:15). Do you believe that?”
"Oh, yes; but I am a hard case. I am very ignorant.”
"Do you not see that your very ignorance and sinfulness are the reasons why God sent His Son to seek and to save you? Do you believe that Christ is willing to save you? Ought you not to surrender to Him at once?”
"How am I to take Christ as my Savior? If I come to the meeting tonight, will you explain it?”
"You need not wait till tonight. You may take Him here and now. He says, 'Behold, NOW is the accepted time; Behold, NOW is the day of salvation.' God loves you! Christ wants you. Don't put Him off.”
Tears came into the man's eyes and looking full in the doctor's face he said: "Now I understand! It's all His love; HE LOVES ME! I confess Him now as my Savior, and I take Him with all my heart.”
