Speak Well of God’s Son

Two young men stood shivering in the cold, ignoring the vulgarities being flung at them.� The crowd, most of them drunk, refused to listen to their message of Jesus Christ.

Finally, Frederick S. Arnot, with tears running down his face, acknowledged defeat.� He and his friend turned to leave.� Suddenly a tall, elderly man grabbed Arnot�s shoulder, smiled warmly and said quietly, “Keep at it, laddie; God loves to hear men speak well of His
Son.”

With that encouragement, the two Scottish lads squared their shoulders and returned.� It wasn�t long before the rowdy crowd began to pay attention to the message the boys wanted to share.

God loves to hear men and women speak well of His Son.� Yet how easy it is for us to become silent, ineffective ambassadors for Christ! Do you speak well of God�s Son?� Don�t let discouragement or lack of results stand in the way.� Pray as the apostle Paul did that you will “fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel.”
