By David Instone-Brewer, adapted from Moral Questions of the Bible: Timeless Truth in a Changing World.
Prison is a great place to find Jesus.

After some time, a significant number of people had become Christians, and the prison governor offered him a full-time paid post because he needed fewer guards in the wing he’d been working in.
Christians don’t only help those who are Christians or who might convert. The criterion isn’t whether they are interested in Jesus, but whether Jesus is interested in them.
