This morning I read a story to my student's from Hudson Taylor's life. It started with how Hudson Taylor was discouraged that no one had taken the Gospel seriously. One night he was particularly discouraged when a Buddhist man stood up and said that he wanted to know more. His grandfather and his father had been searching for the truth and he wanted to know more about this truth Hudson Taylor was talking about. The man became a Christian, was baptized, and even took Taylor to a Buddhist meeting where the man shared his testimony with his friend. It was this part of the story that made me stop though. It says, "However, a few nights after the man had accepted Jesus as his Savior, he asked Hudson Taylor a very hard question. "How long have the people in your land known about Jesus?" Hudson Taylor answered, "Oh, hundreds of years." "WHAT?" said the man in amazement. "You knew the truth for hundreds of years and didn't come tell us? My father searched for the truth all his life and died without finding it. Why didn't you come sooner?"
Just a little something to ponder....:)
