What Would You Do?

You’re driving down the highway and you come upon a single-car accident. There is a young man who has been thrown from the vehicle. He’s alive, but hurt. Quick…what do you do? Do you drive on, hoping no one saw you, or do you stop and offer assistance? Silly question isn’t it? Even if you have no medical knowledge and the sight of blood makes you squeamish, you will stop, assess the situation, and call for help if you cannot provide it. Our morals demand that we help. But let me ask you this; you see the same young man staggering out of a tavern, what do you do? Ignore him? Why is it our moral fiber does not grip us as it did when he was in an accident? I would argue he is in as much danger as he was in the previous circumstance. What if you saw him on a Sunday morning washing his car in his driveway as you were on your way to church? What do you do? Drive by calling him a heathen under your breath, or would you stop and invite him to church? Okay, your running late and he is not really dressed for church (excuses, excuses)…would you make it a point to see him on Monday or Tuesday and invite him then? Some of you will say that is crossing a line. When you’ve surrendered your life to Jesus, He crosses every line, and there is no single moment of your life he does not want to penetrate. My prayer for you is that the Spirit would infiltrate your life with a holy boldness...then what would you do?
