A Blessed Blunder<\/div><\/div>\nAt a gospel meeting in Des Moines I had preached as clearly as I could the glorious Word of the Christ of the cross. Afterward, noticing a young man trying to avoid me, I went straight over to him.
\nAfter a brief conversation I persuaded him to come with me into a small adjoining room. I learned that it was through a \u201cmistake\u201d that he had \u201cblundered\u201d into the meeting.
\nThe young man was a Jew and, as he thought, on his way to a concert. The brightly lighted gospel hall appeared to him to be the concert location. The preaching was just beginning as he found a seat, and leaving immediately would have been embarrassing. He decided to \u201ctough it out\u201d and escape as soon as possible.
\nAs to the preacher\u2019s message that night, perhaps little was heard. He was utterly indifferent to Christianity, and almost insulting in his attitude toward me. In my helplessness, I looked to the Lord for guidance. I knew that only He could give the right word.
\n\u201cMy word… shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing where to I sent it\u201d (Isaiah 55:11).
\nTaking a small Testament from my pocket, I held it out to the young man. I said: \u201cIf you will promise me that you will get on your knees this night and read this verse I have marked, I will make you a present of the Book.\u201d
\nThe verse was John 5:24: \u201cVerily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.\u201d
\nGlad to be rid of me so easily, the young fellow agreed and was soon on his way.
\nDid he really get away?
\nIt was several years later that a news item came to my attention: \u201cAlbert Nathan,\u201d I read, \u201ca converted Israelite, is holding Bible studies in…\u201d
\n\u201cNathan\u201d? That was the name of my Jewish listener! That night being a free one for me, I went to take the place of a listener. As I slipped into a rear seat, the announced speaker saw me. Hurrying down the aisle, he kept calling out: \u201cI kept my promise! I kept my promise!\u201d
\nAs he grasped my hand, he exclaimed: \u201cI got away from you, but I couldn\u2019t get away from God. I kept my promise to you; and that night on my knees I read the precious words of John 5:24. Through it and through both my New Testament and the Old, the God of Jacob has by His Spirit brought me to know His Son Jesus as my Savior and my Lord. Going into that hall was the most blessed blunder I ever made.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
