I read of a preacher traveling in the South who obtained permission to preach in the local jail. A son of his host went with him. On the way back the young man, who was not a Christian, said to the preacher:
“I hope some of the convicts were impressed. Such a sermon as that ought to do them good.”
“Did it do you good?” the preacher asked.
“Oh, you were preaching to the convicts!” the young man answered.
The preacher shook his head, and said, “I preached Christ, and you need Him as much as they.”
