Josh was a teen in high school who was an average student.
He was in the football team, made good grades, and was a popular
student. Another boy, his friend Caleb, was more shy, and was
always on the sidelines of life.
Caleb one day had the courage to talk about the Bible to Josh.
"Hey, do you want to go to church with me this sunday?"
Josh gave him a 'are you crazy' look.
"Me?...Go to church?" "Why"
Caleb answered, "It's cool, it really is...and it's filled with the Truth...
don't you know the God that loves you so much?"
"Pfft, yea, but I don't think God is for me," Josh answered.
Caleb was disappointed, but he didn't let it get him down.
The next day they were walking to school, and as they crossed
the street, a guy in a truck passed out from low blood sugar, and
his foot pressed on the gas. The truck came speeding down the road,
but Josh was too busy listening to his Ipod to notice. Caleb saw what was coming, and knowing he had one split second to make a move, he ran into the street, push Josh forward, and then...the truck hit him at high speed.
He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. He could barely write, the most he did was write 'Hi' or 'I love you' to his family, but he couldn't talk.
Finally, one day, Josh visited him in the hospital, and watched as his friend passed away.
He cried so hard, and when he reached for Caleb's hands, a piece of paper dropped out.
On it was written John 15:13
