Joy in Substitution
A couple of Sundays ago, Carol was asked to substitute teach for the middle school Sunday morning class at Quisqueya Chapel, the English-speaking church we attend sometimes.
She arrived early and soon a student walked in. Figuring that this was a divine appointment, Carol asked the young man how he became a Christian. He replied: “ I've been a Christian since I was a baby.” So Carol gently asked him questions to help him understand that being born into a Christian family does not make one a “Christian”.
The conversation continued one-on-one until a few other students showed up. But the value of a few minutes of challenging discussion of spiritual things cannot be underestimated in the life of this young man.
Although he didn't indicate he trusted in Christ that morning, he definitely learned some spiritual truth that will guide him to the right decision when he is ready.
