Beginning at this Scripture, [Philip] preached Jesus to him.
Acts 8:35
A man was assigned a middle seat on an airplane. Tired and wanting to sleep, he was
irritated when the young girl next to him with Down syndrome asked, "Mister, do you
brush your teeth?" "Yes," he replied. "That's good. People who don't,
lose their teeth."
A little later she asked, "Mister, do you smoke?" "No," he answered.
"That's good. People who do, die."
After a long silence, she turned to him again, "Mister, do you love Jesus?"
"Yes, I do," he responded. "That's good," she added. "People who
do, go to heaven."
Though deeply touched, he settled back, hoping there would be no more questions. Just then
the girl said, "Mister, ask the man next to you if he brushes his teeth."
Well, you can guess what followed. When she came to the question about Jesus, the second
man became thoughtful. "I'm afraid I don't understand," he said. For the next
hour the two men talked about eternal issues.
Sometimes opportunities for sharing God's love may come in unusual ways, as was the case
in Acts 8 when Philip pointed a total stranger to Christ. But if we are willing, He will
bless even our feeblest efforts to tell others that Jesus loved them so much that He died
for them.

People searching for an answer,
Looking for a better way,
Can discover truth and meaning
If God's love we will display.

You can never speak to the wrong person about Christ.
