Christopher, who was just a little boy, went with his father to a meeting where his father preached about how the Lord Jesus loves people so much that He died on the cross so that any who will believe on Him will be saved.
As they walked home from the meeting, little Christopher held his father’s hand tightly. His father was feeling a bit sad because no one had said they would come to the Lord Jesus to be saved that night.
But then Christopher said to his father, “Daddy, I got saved tonight. I asked the Lord Jesus to wash away my sins, and He did!”
You can guess how happy Christopher’s father was to hear his little boy confess the name of the Lord Jesus! Romans 10:13 tells us, “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved,” and that is what Christopher had done.
One day soon after that, little Christopher said, “Daddy, there’s an old man in that little house up on the hill, and he is very sick. Could you go tell him about the Lord Jesus?”
His father answered, “Why don’t you go, Christopher, now that you are saved.”
But Christopher said, “Oh no, Daddy, I couldn’t do that.”
But the more he thought about the old man so sick and lonely, the more he wanted to go. So he went. It took a lot of courage, but the Lord Jesus helped him.
He didn’t know what to say, but he remembered his memory verse, and he repeated it: “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:13). The old man listened to Christopher, and he did what the verse says. He knew he needed help, so he called on the name of the Lord Jesus and he was saved. Then, how happy he was, and how happy little Christopher was that he had gone to tell him about the Lord Jesus!
When little Christopher grew up, he went to be a missionary in China. But being a missionary started the day he told that old man the gospel. If we know the Lord Jesus as our Savior, He wants us to tell other people about Him, wherever we are. He will give us the courage if we ask Him to.
