Test of Christianity

Good lesson...
Several years ago a pastor moved to London. He often took the bus from his home to the downtown area.

Some weeks after he arrived, he had an occasion to ride the same bus. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him twenty pence too much change. As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, you better give the twenty pence back. It would be wrong to keep it.

Then he thought, oh forget it, it's only twenty pence. Who would worry about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company already gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a gift from Almighty God and keep quiet.

When his stop came, the Pastor paused momentarily at the door, then he handed the twenty pence back to the driver and said "Here, you gave me too much change." The driver with a smile replied "Aren't you the new pastor in this area? I have been thinking lately about going to worship at your church. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change."

When the Pastor stepped off the bus, his knees became weak and soft. He had to grab the nearest light pole and held for support, and looked up to the heavens and cried "Oh God, I almost sold Christianity for twenty pence!"

Remember, we may never see the impact our actions have on people. Sometimes we are the only knowledge of Bible someone will read, or the only Christian a non-christian will see. What we need to provide, is an example for others to see. Be careful and be honest everyday, because you never know who is watching your actions and judging you as a Christian
