Saturday evening.
Saturday evening, some people invited us to watch a movie. Two of us had been chatting to each other about evangelism and decided to put our talk into action that night and go out to Menlyn to evangelise. We sat in the car in the parking lot for quite some time praying before going out. So off we went into Menlyn. Walking through the mall, we were chatting and keeping our eyes open for someone to speak to. Near the food court on the top floor of the shopping centre, there was a young guy sitting with an Arsenal shirt. So we chatted a bit about football. The guy seemed very outspoken and was very keen to chat to us. Soon we switched over to the things of God and challenged him where he stands according to God’s law. He did not however want to admit his guilt and kept saying that on the Day of Judgement he would be able to justify all he did wrong by the good deeds he has done. After about 10 minutes of debating and arguing trying to let this guy realise that his own works will never make him righteous before God, things seemed to not be going anywhere. Not long after that he hung his head, gave up justifying himself and admitted that he would be found guilty before a Holy God on the Day of Judgement. When he came to this conclusion, we explained what Jesus came to do, taking on our sins so that we become righteous on Judgement Day through Him. With a heavy heart he looked down and said that he’d been going to church for many years and never has he understood what Jesus came to do for us on the cross. He asked whether we could pray for him that he could partake in the gift of Salvation that Jesus gave on the cross. We told him that it was his life and his choice and that he should ask Jesus to come into his life. He repented from his sins and asked Jesus to come into his life.
