One
of the seventy-one high school students that said
YES
LORD
and prayed with Barbara to invite Jesus into his life
was Ken. Ken was a macho Football Captain who after
inviting Jesus into his life was invited by Barbara to a
Bible study at her home. Since he was so macho and
cool, she didn't think he would show up. Much to her
surprise he arrived for the study with two friends, all
three with baseball caps on backwards and Ken said "I
brought along Tommy and Eddie for you to tell about Jesus,
too." Both Tommy and Eddie invited Jesus into
their lives that night. Several weeks passed and Tommy
said that he wanted to go to a party in another town.
Friend Ken the Football Captain said, "Don't go Tommy,
there will be drinking." Tommy ignored his
friends advice and went. When Ken found Tommy and
picked him up and brought him home with him, Tommy was very
drunk and ill. He called Tommy's dad and asked what to
do with Tommy, "Do you want me to take him to the
hospital, he is really in bad shape?" Tommy's dad
told Ken "No" and said "Just let him sleep it
off." Ken stayed up with his friend Tommy most of
the night, but dozed off. When Ken awoke, he found
Tommy dead. Tommy had choked to death.
Ken
was devastated. He cried and cried and just didn't
understand why this happened. Tommy was his good
friend and now he was gone. Barbara spoke with Ken and
shared that only God knows when we come and go. The
circumstances were irrelevant. This was Tommy's time
and God had taken him home. She reminded Ken that it
was his love for Tommy, just like Jesus love for us, that
had him bring Tommy to the Bible study only a few weeks
before, where Tommy said YES
LORD and invited Jesus into his life. At that instant
Tommy's name was written in The Lamb's Book of Life.
When
Tommy died he went to Heaven to be with Jesus. Those
of us here who have invited Jesus into our lives, know and
have the assurance that when we die, that we also, will be
with Jesus and Tommy for all eternity. What a great
day that will be! |
