THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL When commerce had been established with the Fiji Islanders, a merchant who was an atheist and skeptic landed on the island to do business. He was talking to the Fijian chief and noticed a Bible and some other paraphernalia of religion around the house. What a shame, he said, that you have listened to this foolish nonsense of the missionaries. The chief replied, Do you see the large white stone over there? That is a stone where just a few years ago we used to smash the heads of our victims to get at their brains. Do you see that large oven over there? That is the oven where just a few years ago we used to bake the bodies of our victims before we feasted upon them. Had we not listened to what you call the nonsense of those missionaries, I assure you that your head would already be smashed on that rock and your body would be baking in that oven. There is no record of the merchants response to that explanation of the importance of the Gospel of Christ. Brethren, the Gospel is powerful. Its potency in transforming lives is manifest when its spoken out. SPEAK IT OUT and youll see its power. Tell someone today the Good News and youll see a transformed life. JESUS IS LORD!
