A friend of mine was walking down a street in Minneapolis one day and was confronted by an evangelical brother who asked, "Brother, are you saved?" Hal rolled his eyes back and said, "Yes." That didn't satisfy this brother, so he said, "Well, when were you saved?" Hal said, "About two thousand years ago, about a twenty minutes' walk from downtown Jerusalem." What a great line. I have to remember that!

About two thousand years ago, about a twenty minutes' walk from downtown Jerusalem." Great line but I believe it was from before the foundation of the universe..

What a great line. I have to remember that! The response from the street evangelist is not recorded (for all we know it was "Halelujah, Brother"), but it appears that Hal didn't seem to care for the street evangelist. If someone comes up to you and asked you if you are "saved brother" and you roll your eyes, how is that reaction any different from the reaction of the reprobates?
Ought we not to be rejoicing that at least someone is out there pounding the pavement and seeking out the lost?
