Sell Your Son For A Quarter
Several years ago, a new preacher moved to Houston , Texas .
Some weeks after he arrived, he had occasion to ride the bus from his
home to the downtown area.
When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally
given him a quarter too much change.
As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, "You'd
better give the quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it."
Then he thought, "Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter. Who would
worry about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company gets too much
fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a 'gift from God' and keep
quiet.
When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, and then
he handed the quarter to the driver and said, "Here, you gave me too
much change."
The driver with a smile replied, "Aren't you the new preacher in
town? I have been thinking lately about going to worship somewhere. I
just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change. I'll
see you at church on Sunday".
When the preacher stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed
the nearest light pole, held on, and said, "Oh God, I almost sold your
Son for a quarter."
Our lives are the only Bible some people will ever read. This is
a really almost scary example of how much people watch us as Christians
and will put us to the test!
Always be on guard and remember that you carry the name of
Christ on your shoulders when you call yourself "Christian."
