A Christian man, when traveling on the train, overheard a conversation between two passengers in which they reproached and spoke critically of Christians for their many inconsistencies. The Christian, although grieved to think that occasion had been given for these reproaches, longed to speak a word for his blessed Master, and so he said, “Gentlemen, I have overheard your conversation, and must confess that a great deal of what you say is true. But tell me, however, have you anything to say against the Lord Jesus Christ?”

“No,” they replied, “He was all right!”

None can find fault with Him of whom the dying thief testified, that “this Man hath done nothing amiss.” (Luke 23:41⁴¹And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. (Luke 23:41).)

Pilate, the Roman governor, was compelled to confess three times, “I find no fault in this Man.” (Luke 23:4,14,22⁴Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man. (Luke 23:4)
¹⁴Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: (Luke 23:14)
²²And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. (Luke 23:22).)
