Chain of Faith

During a recent Sunday School lesson study, I was reminded of how God's work in the lives of His people creates this unbreakable chain of faith.



Consider the following facts:


Dwight L. Moody was led to Christ by his Sunday School teacher, Edward Kimball. 
Moody went on to lead thousands to Christ through evangelistic meetings. At one such meeting he counseled J. Wilbur Chapman and helped him reach a place of certainty about his salvation.
Chapman later hired an assistant to help organize his own evangelistic meetings. The assistant's name was Billy Sunday, who was converted at a street corner meeting in Chicago.
Sunday held an evangelistic campaign in Charlotte and a businessman's group grew out of thise campaign. The group was instrumental in bringing a man by the name of Mordecai Ham to Charlotte for their meetings.
Mordecai Ham also became an evangelist for the gospel. One soul that responded to his message was a guy by the name of Billy Graham.

We're all a part of this faith chain. You have someone who influenced your life for Christ, and you in turn will influence others. This unbreakable chain connects the centuries. Only on the other side of heaven will we truly recognize how God intricately designed this chain of faith.



Father, thank You for the gospel that glues us all together as one giant, unbreakable chain of faith. Lord, may we take the time to remember and thank You for the lives of those who influenced us for Your Kingdom, and also realize that our God-given mission is to keep the chain going by sharing with others what You've so graciously bestowed on us. Amen.
