One dark and cloudy
night, around 11 pm or so, I had to go out with Augustine and direct him to
another friend’s house. He followed me on
his bike. As usual I was riding the bike pretty fast and Augustine was finding
it difficult to keep up with me.I kept going without
realizing that Augustine was stuck way behind me. After while I realized that
he was nowhere in the vicinity, so I stopped to call him. As I took my mobile out,
I saw a group of young girls standing on the side of the road. They all were
dressed smartly and were walking up and down the street, as If searching for
someone.

All of a sudden, there
was flash of a scene from the bible, John 8: 3-11, where an adulteress was
brought before Jesus. All that I remembered was the final words of Jesus “Is
there no one to condemn you, neither do I condemn you, go and Sin no more”. Then I could feel peace flowing through my mind
and body. I looked right into the eyes of the girl and told her “Jesus loves
you “. After hearing this, it was her turn to look stunned and speechless.
There are so many people
in this world who are slaves to the Evil Schemes of the Devil. We try to justify
it under Culture, Love, Professionalism, Modernization, Globalization and so
on. I have realized that there is no point in arguing and trying to convince
people of these evils. All we have to do
is to tell them that “Jesus loves them “. It is more powerful that all the Logic,
theology and philosophy that we possible comprehend.
I then noticed a young
girl approach me from the crowd. As she
came closer I become restless, began dialing my friend’s number. Before the
call could connect though, she was already beside my bike. She smiled at me and
said my price is X. I thought she was asking me for an address, and I blinked
for awhile.
It then dawned on me that
she was a prostitute and was telling me her price for the act of
prostitution. I could not believe that
she was a prostitute, because she looked like any other girl from a decent
family. I was stunned and speechless for some time and could not digest the
reality. I was thinking to myself how could someone do something so Evil.


As I Kept looking into
her eyes, I saw tears building up, ready to flow down. I think it was the first
time the she had heard the word “LOVE” in her life. She covered her eyes with
her hands and ran away from the place. I felt the cool breeze flowing as I remembered
my days of sinfulness and when for the first time someone told the same words to
me -“Jesus Loves you “.
Oh what a feeling it is to know that we are forgiven and that
Jesus loves us still.

If you closely observe,
every time the first encounter of Jesus with a sinner will always be an encounter
of love. Not Interrogation or condemnation. Once the Love deals with the hard
heartedness, stubbornness, Evilness, brokenness, loneliness, then He slowly
helps them change their ways and live a righteous life. Only Love can prepare
the heart and mind to accept with humility. So if you want someone to change
their ways, encounter them with Love.
Let pray for all the
innocent people who have enslaved themselves to the act of prostitution. Let the
light of Red one day shine with the Light of Jesus Instead
