What do you have that I don't?
Faustino de Jesús Zamora VargasA few years ago a friend, surprised by the obvious changes that God was generating in my life, asked me bluntly: What is it about your religion that you make it so special, that you spend the day talking about Jesus to the point of boredom? What do you have that I don't? The answer for me was simple. Christ !, I replied and he gave me a face like the Joker from the American deck game. I tried to explain the Good News to her in the simplest way possible, I told her about mutual friends who had found in Christ the light for their lives quenched by sin.
It was a glorious morning for his life, for mine, and for the patient heart of our Lord. Jacinto understood the message, his condition as a sinner and surrendered to Christ with his pair of eyes hydrated by a sea of tears that spoke of a repentance such that his lips were unable to express. Before that day, I had many opportunities to tell my friend Jacinto about Christ, but "at the ninth hour," I lacked the courage. Since Christ is ultimately the author of the work and I never had the initiative to break the ice and preach to him, He moved my friend's heart to ask me the question that ultimately turned out to be the detonator that brought Jacinto to his feet. What do you have that I don't?
