God at work again
A young man in his mid-twenties came to the door and when he was informed of the purpose of my visit he told me he was a communist from Yugoslavia. Then he said, “I could be Jesus.” I told him that was not possible, so he asked me, “Why not?” I explained that Jesus was not a communist …
