While walking around in a local shopping center, they went into a small department store.
The man was so interested that he asked if she would speak to all of his employees.
When she agreed, he gathered his workers together and began to explain what each of them needed in their lives.
He asked, Can Jesus heal this man? For another, Can Jesus take away smoking? Next, can Jesus take away bad attitudes? The questions went on and on What joy this Christian woman felt as she responded in the affirmative to each question and told the assembled group that Jesus saves and how he died on the cross so that he could save them from their sins.
She explained that salvation is the starting point in a walk with Jesus and that he could solve every problem these people had in their lives.
The employees took the tracts eagerly and their eyes lit up as they heard about Jesus for the first time.
On her next visit, she went back to the shopping mall, only to find that the store had been closed.
The impact the message of salvation had on these individuals will not be known until we reach heaven.
In our lesson text today, Paul was another who took advantage of an unexpected opening to share the gospel.
As a prisoner bound for trial in Rome, the apostle had come through a ferocious storm lasting at least two weeks and then a shipwreck.
After making it to land, he had been bitten by a venomous viper while gathering sticks to build a fire.
However, Paul was always ready to minister to others in the name of the Lord.
When he lodged with the chief man on the island and learned that his father was desperately ill, the apostle prayed for him, and the man was healed.
The result of this miracle was that many others on the island came to Paul for healing.
But we will have our own opportunities.
