His name was Wray and the name and will and way of Christ was written strong upon his daily actions.
And so one day when he was accepted as a foreign missionary his heart was filled with joy.
However, good man that he was his intellect could not match this goodness. Try as he might he never really mastered the language of the people he daily ministered to. He would talk and try to explain the scriptures but his knowledge of the language and ability to apply it escaped him.
The people loved him but they could not understand him.
But though they could not understand his talk they could understand his walk.
One day, according to their custom, they were seated on the ground around a visiting missionary and a question was asked, “What is it to be a Christian?”
Not one of them could answer, but finally one of them pointed to where the young missionary Wray was seated and replied, “It is to live as Mr. Wray lives!” They could not read the Gospel according to Matthew or Mark or Luke or John, but they could read the Gospel according to Wray.
You may have no talent to teach the gospel or an inclination or desire to preach from some pulpit…but those around you have eyes and they have ears…and what they see you do as a Christian speaks louder sometimes evejn than if you had a PHD in theology.
We exert a tremendous influence on the lives of people we hardly even now.
When we go shopping, fill our gas tank, have our hair cut, etc. we probably are at least civil most of the time and hopefully downright friendly.
But what about people met for the first time and last time all at once.
Are we gruff? Smiling? Curt? Happy? Taciturn?
In such a little time we can make a complete stranger absolutely miserable or at the very least briefly happy.
Perhaps you say to everyone you meet and greet, “Have a good day!”If not in those exact words at least in the way you act. But if you don’t would it really be that difficult?
