Sermon Illustrations

A few months ago, I was in El Paso holding an evangelistic meeting, and the young people were serving dinner to the mothers being that it was Mother’s Day. I was seating in a chair watching what was going on, and right in front, a four-year-old girl pushed a two-year-old boy, who fell on the floor and started crying. I picked him up and tried to make him feel better, but he kept crying. So I call the little girl and say, "Do you have something to say to him? Something like sorry?" Then she said sorry and gave him a kiss on the cheeks. "Would you forgive me?" "Uhmhu!" And he jumped out of my lap and started playing with the little girl again as if nothing had happened.
