Mission Moment


AUGUSTINE
Do you ever get in trouble by your teacher or by your mom? Do you sometimes not do
what you are told? Some children find it easy to be good - some don't!

Augustine didn't find it easy to be good. He enjoyed doing naughty things. His mother was Jesus' friend - but Augustine wasn't. He was having too much fun to bother with Jesus. He took things that weren't his. He didn't do what his mother told him. He thought
this was funny.It made his mother sad. She asked Jesus to show Augustine that the things he did were
wrong.

Augustine grew up. He still did naughty things. He still made his mother sad. She stillasked Jesus to help. Sometimes Augustine felt bad - being naughty wasn't always fun - but he didn't want to stop just yet ...

Then, one day. he was in the garden. He heard a child say, quot;Pick it up and read iT, But there was no one there. What could it mean? Then he saw his friend's Bible on the ground. He picked it up and read it! He read that Jesus could forgive him for all the bad things he had done.He read that Jesus could help him stop doing bad things. He became Jesus'friend. His
mother was so happy.

Even though he had been a naughty boy, Augustine became one of the world's mostFamous Bible teachers! Jesus can change anybody.
