Rend Me Your Bag
Rend Me Your Bag

We both teach regularly in the Nairobi Baptist Bible College.  It has been a regular part of our ministry since 1993, and will continue as long as we can still share with the students.  This past term I asked my students to write a sermon that could become a salvation tract, and then submit it for a grade.  I took Julius’s tract, and was surprised to read the title, “Rend me your Bag."  As I began to read the tract, it was about a young boy who had a father that loved him so much—but could not afford to get him a new bag.  As he went to school, everyone asked to borrow the old bag, and the boy allowed many to do so.  Then one day, his father asked him to lend him his bag.  The father put many nice things in the bag and then returned it to the son.  The boy was so surprised by the beautiful gifts; he did not know that his father could afford such nice things.  God is asking you today to “LEND HIM YOUR BAG” so He can give you His greatest gift—ETERNAL LIFE.  (Even though the grammar and spelling were terrible, the story was so real.)  Dad sure does love us too.
