Preaching The Gospel Without Words
Story★★★★Dr. A. T. Schofield, the Harley Street specialist, tells in one of his books that when his daughter was ill they engaged a nurse to look after her. At the end of two weeks the nurse came to him and said, “I thought you would like to know that I am now a Christian. When I came I was an unbeliever.” The doctor said, “I suppose my daughter has been talking to you about religion.” “No,” was the reply, “she has not said a word about it, but I have never known anyone so cheerful and patient and I could not rest until I knew her secret.” That girl on her sick-bed had been preaching the Gospel without words.
The point
A nurse caring for Dr. Schofield's ill daughter becomes a Christian by witnessing the girl's cheerfulness and patience despite suffering, demonstrating the Gospel without words.
