Jurgen was the oldest boy in his family. When he was sixteen years old, his father died and Jurgen went to work in the coal mine to support his mother and his brothers and sisters. At noontime Jurgen and the other workers at the mine would sit and eat their lunches together.
One of the young men who worked with Jurgen was a Christian, and one day he told Jurgen and the other men about the Lord Jesus and of His love for sinners. Not many days later Jurgen fell down a deep mine shaft and was killed instantly. We don’t know if Jurgen believed the gospel message and accepted Christ as his Saviour.
The Bible says, “Behold now is the accepted time, behold now is the day of salvation,” and “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?”
