Such a great cost!

Mark talking with Johnny

Because my Spanish witnessing vocabulary is pretty rusty, Mark kind enough to translate for me. We went up to a group of about 8 teenagers to share the gospel with them. By the end, only 1 remained. Johnny was his name. Throughout the conversation, Johnny had thrown out objections to the gospel. He would say he didn't believe in Hell. His friends would laugh and also throw out objections. But God was convicting him of his sin and by the end of the conversation, Johnny had tears streaming down his face. He stayed long after all his friends had left him. He also began to confess an addiction to marijuana. 

As we continued to talk with him, he started to realize how much it was going to cost him to give over his life to Christ. He kept repeating "It is a great cost". It was so refreshing to see someone understand the gospel and realize that to follow Jesus is going to cost a lot. He saw his friends had already left him just because he continued to talk to us. He realized that if he was to give his life to Christ that he would become an outcast among them. It was going to cost him a lot. 

Please pray for Johnny that he would come to the revelation of how Christ is worth any cost and that he would repent of his sins and put his trust in Him. 

Matt 16:26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
