Our Business “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). When the evangelist D.L. Moody was returning home late one night in Chicago, he noticed a man leaning against a lamppost. He went to him, laid his hand on his shoulder, and asked him if he was a Christian. The man became angry and raised his fist threateningly. “I’m sorry if I have offended you,” Moody said soothingly. The man retorted, “Mind your own business.” “But that is my business!” the evangelist replied, as he continued on his way. One morning some three months later, Moody was awakened very early by a knock at the door. “Who is there?” An unknown voice answered, “I want to become a Christian.” When Mr. Moody answered the door there stood the man he had spoken to under the lamppost. When we encourage others to accept Christ as their Savior, we are simply fulfilling the mission that the Lord has given us. It is indeed our business, and His too.
