Two young men were talking seriously about conversion. One was a happy Christian, and he was telling his friend how much Jesus had done for him.
“I do wish that you would come to Him and let Him save you too. Garry.”
“I am thinking about it, Paul, in fact I have often thought about it before now, but it means giving up quite a few things. In fact, I am counting the cost of being a Christian.”
A third young man had just joined the group and heard this last remark. He put his hand on Garry’s shoulder and said,
“Garry, have you ever counted the cost of NOT taking Jesus as your Saviour?”
That was something that Garry hadn’t quite thought about. Have you? What if you should go into eternity without having Jesus as your Saviour? I am glad to say that this remark so disturbed that young man that he could rest no more until he came to Jesus and accepted Him as his Saviour.
