GOSPEL NUGGET #207

Why do you not love Jesus? 

True Story

An atheist was once approached by a little girl. The little girl asked him: "Why do you not love Jesus?" He ignored her and just went ahead. But the little girl asked him again: "Why do you not love Jesus?" 

Ignoring her a second time, he just went on. But for the third time the girl asked him, this time with tears in her eyes: "Why do you not love Jesus?" 

And again, as in the case of many, that question was used by the Holy Spirit to bring conviction to his heart. Everywhere he went, the question kept ringing in his ear: "Why do you not love Jesus?" 

In the business place: "Why do you not love Jesus?" 
With friends: "Why do you not love Jesus?" 
With his family: "Why do you not love Jesus?" 

Even the words from his pen seem to form themselves and ask: "Why do you not love Jesus?" 

At night time, when he was about to go to sleep, the pillow seemed to whisper in his ear: "Why do you not love Jesus?" 

He took out a Bible and decided to read the book of John, in the hopes of trying to find a contradiction that could give him some justification. He looked in vain. 

In the end, the arrow of conviction pierced deeply into his heart, he saw himself a sinner and then found salvation in Christ Jesus.
