I want to share something with you this evening.
Mordecai Ham was a man back in the late 1800's, early 1900's preaching a tent revival in 1934 and there was two young 14 year old boys walking by when they heard him preaching about a loving Father. The 2 boys walked up to the tent and there was no room for them to sit because it was packed.
The 2 boys turned and started walking away and the usher chased the 2 boys down and told them to come back that he would find them a seat. He took the boys in and had some people scoot in and gave the 2 boys a seat. That night those 2 boys gave their life to Jesus Christ.
One of the boys was Billy Graham, who preached the gospel to more people than anyone in the world. The other boy was Grady Wilson, who wound up helping Billy Graham organize all his crusades.
The story I'm telling you is not about Billy Graham or even Grady Wilson, or Mordecai Ham.
The story I'm telling you about is the usher who didn't let the two 14 year old boys get away and miss the opportunity to hear the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ.
Guys, we all have a job to do. My question is are you going to be the one to chase those ones that are walking away and invite them in or are you going to be the one that says, we have no more room, go to hell?
We all have a job to do whether it's preaching, teaching, or even just an usher or a simple person who truly loves the Lord.
Be like Jesus and go after the one, because you never know who they may become.
GOD bless you all.
