A Lost Son Is Found

A 4-year-old boy watched as the Jesus Film team set up their equipment. Although the team noticed him, they went on with their work. That evening after the showing, a woman named Mary responded to the invitation to accept Christ. She was crying uncontrollably. After trying to calm her down and praying for her, the team told her that God could help her with her problem no matter what it was. With desperation and anguish in her voice, Mary shared that 42 days earlier her only child, Johnny, disappeared and she didn’t know what had happened to him. As she described the little boy, the team members looked at one another in amazement. They knew that she was describing the boy they had seen earlier in the day when setting up their equipment. They began searching the neighborhood and found the little boy. He had been kidnapped by the uncle of Mary’s ex-husband. Mary shouted, “Thank you Jesus. You're alive! I praise You and give You thanks for helping me find my lost son.” She was overwhelmed with joy. Today Mary is a new sister in Christ and faithfully attends church. She has let go of all the burdens of the kidnapping and has forgiven the man who did this evil deed. Blessed be the name of Jesus!
