I instantly thought of the phrase, "they did not expect to die that day." I don't know if it's a Biblical quote from the part about the Tower of Siloam, or if it just happened to be the title to a video or post by the guys at Living Waters/Way of the Master, but it's unique enough that it's stuck in my mind since.
The pastor at David's funeral service said that David had heard the Gospel before, but something about that particular moment on the street, his soul was ready. This is encouraging to know that once again, we never know what is going on inside a person and though they don't yield at that moment, there may be another moment later when they submit and repent. There may not be, but for those of us who are praying for rebellious relatives, don't give up.
oh wow, very powerful. im almost in tears from the look on his face while he talks to the street preacher. my mom does weekly street evangelism with her church and she shared the gospel with a man who accepted Christ that day. She later heard he suddenly died of a heart attack a few months later. It was shoking but we knew He was with The Lord. She's always giving testimonies and reminds me that many are still open and receptive to the gospel.
Thank you for sharing this Elizabeth. I've watched it twice and am very encouraged. The intense look on David's face is unforgettable. Just beautiful.
