When a missionary read from the Bible to people in a remote village in South America, they were hearing about Jesus for the first time. After the man finished reading, a villager asked, "Do you know the Man in the Book?" The missionary assured him that he did.

Later, the missionary recounted the story to a friend. He said, "Thank God, I did know the Man in the Book. I knew Him as my Lord and Savior. And I was able to introduce Him to these people who had never experienced His love and forgiveness."

The desire of a believer for those who don't know Christ as their Savior is expressed in this song written by Mildred L. Dillon:

I wish you knew my Jesus
And loved Him as I do,
For if you knew my Jesus,
Then you would love Him too.
He gave His life at Calvary,
The sacrifice for you;
If you'll receive my Jesus,
Then you will love Him too.

Every day we rub shoulders with people who need to accept Jesus as their personal Savior. Let's ask God to fill us with the longing, "I wish you knew my Jesus." Then we will become instruments in God's hand to introduce Christ to those who do not know Him.  — Richard De Haan
