Whoever believes in Him

I was visiting Alistair to-day after the death of his brother last week.

Alistair is 75 and his brother that died was 74. He was weepy with me to-day because he has another 6 brothers and sisters still living and not one of them is in peace with God.

Alistair used to be mayor of Gotesti, his brother who died was the former headmaster of the school and there were 60 wreaths at the grave as well as hundreds of people, pupils from the school teachers etc.

Alistair had talked to his brother only last week about getting right with God.

"Come to the church this Sunday - talk to brother Mark - he'll tell you the way of salvation"

His brother said this "I'd like to, but I was an atheist all this time how can I go to the church now"

"But said Alistair "prostitutes, drunkards mafia men go there and have been forgiven and changed - of course you can go"

But because he was an atheist he thought it to much of a hipocracy or who knows what his reasons were to come to the church

We both became emotional - what a tragedy

Jesus said "For God so loved the world ( this includes prostitutes and drunkards AND atheists ) that He gave His only begotten Son that WHOEVER believes in Him shall not perish but have everasting life"
John 3:16

What a tragedy that Alistrair's brother could not believe that WHOEVER inlcuded him.
