Dear Young Christian:

A concerned believer visited his friend — a prominent business executive. Shaking hands, he said, “I’ll come right to the point. Will you become a Christian through faith in Christ and His work at Calvary?”

Going slowly to the window, the businessman stared intently at the busy street below his office. When, after several minutes, he finally turned around, his face was wet with tears. Eventually, he lifted his eyes toward his friend, and said, “Since I was a child, not a single relative, acquaintance, or business associate has asked me that question. I truly thought that no one cared.”

Are there those we know who feel we don’t care? Let’s ask them if they would like to come to the Savior today. “Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee” (Mark 5:19). This is a great challenge, a great privilege, and a great responsibility.

 Your Christian Friend,

 Jim Hyland
