Born Again
“Leaping up, he stood and began to walk; and he entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.”—Acts 3:8 NASB
An explorer and soldier, Simon Kenton became a hero to many living in the American frontier of the 19th century. He seemed fearless no matter how dire the threat was. But no one realized that there was no peace within his own heart.
In the fall of 1819, Kenton attended a camp meeting in Kentucky where he saw the miracle-working power of God at work.
Moved by what he saw, one morning, he asked a man to walk with him into the woods. Kenton confessed he knew God, but admitted he still was a sinner. As he shared these secrets, tears poured from his eyes. This hardened warrior realized he needed Jesus. He fell to the ground, crying out to God.
Suddenly, the burdens disappeared. Kenton knew he had been born again. Springing to his feet, Kenton let out a shout that could be heard throughout the woods. Like the man healed in Acts 3, Kenton began leaping and praising God.
When he arrived back at the camp meeting, his appearance had changed. The whole encampment was startled. Everyone wanted to know what had happened. He had been born again! He wanted everyone to know. “If I had all the world, I would tell of the goodness and mercy of God!”
Today, millions need to know Jesus and experience God’s power and forgiveness. Dedicate your life to spreading the Gospel, so others might know Jesus! He can meet their needs.
