When I got through praying with my friend, this man painfully turned his wheelchair around<br />
to me and asked, "Would those words apply to me too?"<br />
I said, "Why, yes."<br />
"Is this some matter of business you have with her alone?" he questioned. "Is this some<br />
business deal you have between you?"<br />
"O no, no."<br />
"Well, would you read to me out of that Book, too? Would those promises be for me too?"<br />
"Why, of course, they would be, sir."<br />
I could see that he also had been the victim of a recent stroke. His speech was slightly<br />
impaired.<br />
I asked him, "Are you a Christian?"<br />
"No," he said, "I'm a Jew. I've never been a Christian."<br />
"And you've never been saved?"<br />
"No."<br />
"Are you a sinner?"<br />
"O yes. I know I'm in a terrible condition and I know I have no hope. Read to me out of<br />
your Book."<br />
"All right."<br />
"But before you read," he said, "what denomination do you represent?"<br />
I said, "I represent none to you, sir. I'm representing Jesus only to you."<br />
I read to him scriptures which explained that we were all sinners, why we were sinners,<br />
why we could not save ourselves, and how we could be saved. He kept nodding.<br />
"Do you understand?" I asked.<br />
"Yes, yes."<br />
"All right now, I shall pray for you and while I'm praying, you pray in your own heart. I'm<br />
going to pray for the Lord to save you."
