Cromwell,
the well-known English 'Protector' who lived in the XVII century, had ordered
all his soldiers to have a Bible in their kit bag. |
|
One
evening, after a day of hard fightings, a young soldier was returning safely
to the camp. Wanting to take some bread out of his own kit bag, he put his
hand on the Bible and discovered a mysterious round hole. He opened the book
and found … guess what he found … he found a bullet embedded into the book,
exactly into the book of Ecclesiastes and precisely by the passage which
says: "Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, before the
difficult days come, and the years draw near when you say: 'I have no
pleasure in them' (Ecclesiastes 12:1 - NKJV). |
|
The young
soldier read those words, which led him to search and find inside that book
the message of salvation. He became a true believer and afterward he used to
say: 'I owe my life to my Bible: both the life of my body, which it protected
in the battlefield, and the life of my soul, which I found in Jesus Christ'. |
