1 John 5:14-21 / John 3:22-30
God hears our
prayers:
We should pray for sinners.
A number of years ago Newsweek
magazine carried a moving article about the crash of United Airlines flight 629
in Colorado. Someone had hidden a bomb on the plane, killing all aboard.
Two of the dead passengers were parents of three young
sons in Pittsburgh. The pastor of St. Gabriel’s asked the oldest boy, Jerry, if
it would be okay to hold a prayer service for his parents that afternoon. Jerry
said yes, and then added, “Could we also say a prayer for the man who killed my
mother and father?”
