“Doctor, please!” It was the pleading call of a soldier as he lay bleeding to death on the battlefield. The passing medic with the red cross on his arm heard the faint call. He stopped, attended to the man, gave all possible relief, and then ordered him to be taken to the field hospital at once.
As he was being placed on the stretcher, the wounded man asked: “What’s your name, doctor?”
“Oh, no matter,” was the reply.
“But doctor, I want to tell my wife and children who saved my life!”
That was gratitude, you say. And do you not think the Lord Jesus deserves as much from you? Does He not say to you as He did to another, “Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee” (Mark 5:1919Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, 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))?
Tell it to others! It will strengthen you. It will be a safeguard to you. To openly confess the name of Christ will help you to stand firm.
