I ONCE WAS
Stories of transformation from the lives of pro athletes
***
When Benjamin Watson was 6 years old, his father asked him an important question: “If you were to die tonight, do you know what would happen to you?” Benjamin said he didn’t, so his father shared with him a Bible verse, John 3:16 (NKJV), which says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” What happened next was the moment, as Benjamin looks back now, when he passed from death into life.
