The Nurse’s Mistake<\/div><\/div>\nA young man lay in a hospital, racked with pain and impatient to be out again with his carefree friends. He had wanted to be an expert horseback rider and had fallen from his horse while riding. He had also decided that day to take a law course at the University, but now here he lay, and why, oh, why this pain in his leg?
\nSuddenly everything changed for him. A sober nurse quietly brought a folding screen into his ward and placed it carefully around his bed!
\nThe screen! That meant he was expected to die…and soon! His world began to collapse around him. Horses and law courses were forgotten. He heard the hospital clock chime one. Perhaps before it chimed again he would be gone. Why hadn\u2019t they told him before? He wasn\u2019t ready to die. Perhaps before the hour was passed he would be face to face with God.
\nHe hated the thought. Not that he had ever done anything that seemed very bad, but he just hadn\u2019t got acquainted with God. He always figured there was plenty of time. Why had he kept so far from God?
\nHis life began to pass before his eyes and he tried to see it as God would look at it. He shuddered. He hadn\u2019t even kept the second commandment about loving his neighbor, let alone the first commandment about loving God with all his heart.
\nFor the first time in his life he felt the crushing weight of his own sin, and groaned at the thought of meeting a holy God. Restlessly he tossed. His eyes roamed feverishly over the ceiling and walls. That ominous screen! The dread ticking of the clock near his bed!
\nThen the answer came. It was written on a little placard on the opposite wall. He could just see it above the screen:
\n\u201cCOME UNTO ME, ALL YE THAT LABOR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST\u201d (Matthew 11:28). That was it! Jesus Christ, the Son of God somehow anyone would be saved if he came to Him. Yes, the Cross! Christ had died, and in some way that meant pardon for sinners and rest for the soul.
\nThis time he didn\u2019t stop to question it or argue it or put it off. He read the verse again: \u201cCome unto Me, all ye that labor… and I will give you rest.\u201d
\nRight out loud he said: \u201cI will come! I do come! I come to Thee. Is it too late?\u201d
\nThe young man began smiling; he knew it wasn\u2019t too late. He rested on the finished work of the Son of God, and he knew he was forgiven. He had never had such peace in his life. Now he was ready to die.
\nAnd yet, he wasn\u2019t ready to die. He thought of his own brother and of his friends. Most of them cursed and scorned the name of God. Why hadn\u2019t he come to Christ sooner while there was still time to tell them?
\nIf he could only have one chance to shout this wonderful news from the housetops! He would give such a plea from a dying man that the whole world would wake up! If only\u2014
\nThen the nurse came back.
\n\u201cI\u2019m so sorry,\u201d she said, \u201cthere\u2019s been a mistake. We placed the screen at the wrong bed. I am very sorry.\u201d
\nTo her astonishment the patient sat bolt upright in bed and said: \u201cSorry! Why, that\u2019s the greatest thing that ever happened to me in my life!\u201d
\nHave YOU come to Christ for salvation? There may not be this extra time given to you. \u201cBehold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation\u201d (2 Corinthians 6:2).
\nAre you telling others of Christ as though it were their last chance? Today may be your last chance or theirs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
