The Boy with a Defective Heart

Testimony★★★★

A boy whose parents had bought him a Bible series heard the story of Jesus knocking at the door in Revelation 3:20. The boy, who knew he had a defective heart from birth, asked his parents if Jesus would come into his heart despite its condition. They assured him yes and prayed together that night. Sadly, the boy passed away but left behind hope that Jesus had entered his heart.

Baca, Anthony, “Give Him the Glory” (AudioVerse teaching 43336).
