The Doctor\u2019s Discovery<\/h1>\nA<\/span>lbert was the son of Christian parents. During his early childhood he had been taught the Word of God and taught to fear of the Lord. In college he met a student who called himself an atheist and Albert soon became an atheist also. Eventually he became a skilled and popular physician. But his heart was cold toward God.<\/p>\n

Albert spent twenty years ignoring God. However, he experienced many misgivings. This was especially true when he remembered the happy Christian lives of his parents, or heard the dying words of some of his patients as they entered eternity in peace, confessing their faith in Christ and their certainty of being in heaven.<\/p>\n

Late one afternoon the doctor was called to see a new patient, a man saved and heading for heaven.<\/p>\n

\u201cTell me my true condition, doctor; don\u2019t hide it from me. I have no fear of death, no dread of the future. Forty years ago I came as a sinner to Jesus; He saved me and has kept me happy in His love ever since. It will be the grandest day of my life when He sends for me to live with Him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The doctor was touched by his patient\u2019s statement. It was not the wanderings of insanity. It was not the daydream of a visionary. It was the calm, sober statement of a man of faith waiting on the borderline for the appointed hour that would usher him into the presence of his Lord.<\/p>\n

Delighted to Go Home<\/strong><\/p>\n

The doctor examined his patient and, contrary to his usual custom, he told the whole truth: \u201cYou may live a day, or you may go within an hour.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPraise the Lord,\u201d was the calm reply, \u201cOpen up the blinds; bring in the boys; tell the men in the factory to come in. I want to spend my last breath in telling them of Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n

The doctor could stand it no longer. He hurried away, and in fifteen minutes was in his office alone with God.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a reality in being saved after all,\u201d he said to himself. \u201cMy mother used to tell me so. That dying man knows it, and has the power of it in him. I can\u2019t doubt it.\u201d<\/p>\n

A terrible struggle in his soul followed. For weeks the doctor was not

He had met with God, met Him at the cross where as a sinner he cast him- self on His mercy, claiming forgiveness and salvation through the merits of the blood of Jesus alone.<\/p>\n

His conversion became the talk of the town. Those who had so well known his atheistic principles stood in wonder, some in scorn. This was hard to bear, but it served to show him his place as a stranger, rejected by the world as was his Lord. Grace triumphed, and for many years the doctor carried on his profession and guided many a sick and dying sinner to the Saviour.<\/p>\n

There is a reality in being saved. \u201cJesus said: \u201cI am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly\u201d<\/strong>(John 10:10).<\/p>\n
