Emphasis Preaching Journal

A retired priest asked the local undertaker to call him if ever there was a person to be buried who had no friends or family. It was not too long before the undertaker called to say there was now a very old man to be buried -- no family, no friends. The old priest went to the chapel and prayed for the dead man; he accompanied the undertaker to the cemetery and said prayers at the grave. All for a man whom he had never even met. The undertaker was so impressed by the priest's example of love and care that he asked if he would teach him about faith in Jesus.
