Sermon Illustrations

I've been thinking about holy moments, how Christ has surprised me by his presence. One of those moments came when I visited and had Communion with a member who was dying of cancer. Near the end of the visit I asked her how I could pray or for what she would like me to pray for. She expressed concern for family members and a sick church staff member; (the janitor). As I bowed my head to pray she got out of her recliner with great difficulty and with help she knelt there at that chair. I went over and knelt down beside her and held her hand. After I prayed she prayed and in her prayer she prayed for me. I knew I had been in the presence of the living Christ and I now treasure that moment.
