Incarnation - Mack

A while back I got an idea for a book. Rather than writing it, I think I will just share some of the stories here. As a Christian, I believe I play a vital role in either leading someone to or away from Christ. I also believe that people have been sent into my life to be Jesus to me at various times in my life. This is the story of someone who has become a close friend and confidant in my life: Mack McKeithan.


A couple of years ago, I was beginning to recover from the events most of you know about already. I was looking for a church. I had been visiting Florence Baptist Church off and on for several months and wasn't sure if that's where God wanted me to go. So, one week I prayed and asked God to show me where he wanted me to go. As I sat in the pew the following Sunday night before service started, Mack walked up and introduced himself to me. He asked me about myself and then proceeded to invite me to come to his Sunday school class. He took me to where the class met and showed me the choir room and invited me to join the choir. I laughed at him and said, "I'm not even a member here." He responded, "That doesn't matter." He talked about the church and invited me to participate in various activities. Well, I would say that was a clear indication of God's answer to prayer.After I joined the church, a deacon came to my house to visit me. Yep, it was Mack. I am now in the rotation to teach the Sunday school Mack invited me to join, and have been involved in many ministry events with Mack since then.

For me, Mack is a significant person. He was available and open to be used by God and God used him in my life. In this way he became for me an incarnation of Jesus Christ. A living, breathing representative of God. God spoke to me through him, and I will be forever grateful. God used Mack to answer my prayer and give me guidance at a critical time in my life.

Is there a Mack in your life God has used to give you guidance at a critical time in your life? If so, post a comment on the blog page so that others may see.
