A Witness at the Door

My wife told me about something that happened today while I was at work. I wanted her to tell you about it:

Today a van pulled up in front of our house and parked. Two Jehovah’s Witness men got out and approached our door. When I saw them I quickly ran to the back door and called our five year old son, Creed, in from playing.

When we returned to the front door the two men were waiting. I said, “Hello.”

They started saying that they were “telling people about our creator.”

I said, “Creed, who is our creator?”

He said, “God!”

“Wow, that’s good!” the men said.

I said, “Creed, who is Jesus?”

Creed said, “Jesus is God. He came from heaven to earth; lived a perfect life. He died on the Cross to pay for our sins. And He rose again!

One of the Jehovah’s Witnesses said, “Wow, you know, people four times your age don’t know that much.”

“Creed, where is Jesus now?” I said.

“In heaven,” he began, “offering us the free gift of eternal life.”

They said they had two booklets that talked about God...

I said, “I think we differ on who Jesus is.”

“Well, we try not to argue or discuss too much on differences,” they said.

I continued, “It’s a big difference. We stand firm on our belief that Jesus is God; it’s a very important difference!”

“Okay,” they said as they were backing away from the door, “Have a good day.”

I turned to Creed, took his face in my hands and said, “Son, do you know what you just did? You just witnessed for Jesus! You just told some people who did not believe that Jesus is God that He is God! You see, they believe in God the Father, but they don’t believe in God the Son. They don’t believe that Jesus is our Creator.”

Creed ran back outside where Cameron and Haley were playing (Caleb had been in the corner the whole time). Creed said, “Woo hoo! I just witnessed for God! I just told someone who didn’t know Jesus about God...that He created us! I was a create? I was crea...? What was I Cam?”

Cameron said, “Creator?”

He said, “No... I... I was a witness!...for Jesus! Yeah! Woo hoo!”

I was crying, wishing his daddy could hear. And I was praying that he would continue to the glory of his Heavenly Father.

Amen!
