| | An Opportunity to Share to GospelThis week at work, I found myself in a co-worker's office discussing
music, genetics, and then.... Jesus Christ. It was very odd. I had no
intention of talking about the gospel 30 minutes before work was out,
but that's what happened.
This collegue is known by all to be an unbeliver. He is very hostile to
Christianity. I've known him to have very odd beliefs. He's a deist who
combines some eastern thought. He's currently reading the Koran to "be
enlightened". He tells me that he's reading the Islamic scripture for
the same reason he reads things about Buddism, Hinduism, etc, : to open
his mind to all thoughts. When I asked when he last picked up the
Christian Bible to help with his "enlightnment", he admitted that he
rejected Christianity at age 13 and doesn't plan to consider it again.
I told him that I would put the Bible up against any other religous
literature that he reads. That the manuscript evidence, the
archeological record, the prophetic evidence, and the circumstancial
evidence all point to the Bible being the very word of God. He waved me
off as being silly.
Eventually, a friend of mine--fellow Christian who is also an associate
pastor at a local church, entered the office and the conversation. This
man held nothing back. At one point he told the unbeliver that he'd be
a fool for not at least considering the case for Christianity. If we
are wrong, well, we all die and become food for worms. But, if we are
right, then our co-worker will have hell to pay.
To appreciate the intensity of the moment, consider this: my pastor
friend works for this guy. He basically told his boss that he's going
to hell! Now, I'm also outranked by our unbeliving co-worker, but I
work in a different area and do not report to him.
At the mention of hell, I could see his (the unbeliver) hands start to
shake slightly and also noticed that he stopped making eye contact. It
was a very sad moment. He continued to reject the gospel and eventually
business/office work ended our conversation.
I pray that God will be merciful upon his hard heart.
