The Case for Christ Page #3

- I'm-I'm sorry.

- Oh, it's fine.

- Okay. Okay.

- Come on. Come on in.

O soul, are you weary

And troubled?

No light in the darkness

You see?

There's light for a look

at the Savior...

PREACHER:
Sometimes God speaks

to us in unexpected

and surprising ways.

So tonight, for example,

if you find yourself here

for the first time,

I just want to encourage you

to open your heart

and take a chance.

Maybe God's trying to get

your attention right now.

And, trust me,

if you listen expectantly

for His whispers,

you'll hear them.

You Will.

Maybe you're afraid.

Maybe you have doubts.

Maybe you've felt something

missing in your life

and you don't know quite

what it is.

That's fine.

God is patient.

And when you're ready,

I promise you,

He'll be right there waiting

for you with open arms.

- LEE:
Hey.

- Hi.

Sorry I missed dinner.

New boss piling on the work.

I think he's punishing me

for the award.

How was your day?

Good.

It was good.

(knocking)

Officer Koblinsky.

- Who are you?

- Lee Strobel.

I'm with the Chicago Tribune.

Close call, huh?

So, I'm looking to do a story

on the shooting.

You know, hero cop,

injured in the line of duty,

that whole angle.

I'm not supposed to talk

to anybody from the press.

I know, but you've gotta

be able to give me something.

You know the deal. Not while

it's under investigation.

Look, I read your report.

I know you and James Hicks

got in a scuffle,

I know he shot you, but come on.

Give me a little something

off the record?

Why do you think he did it, huh?

Look, thanks anyway, okay?

LEE:

Ah...

All right.

I will go find another hero cop

to interview.

Mr. Strobel,

do you want a story?

Yeah.

Do one on the gangbanger

who did this.

Put him away for good.

[]

Feel better, huh?

PREACHER:

We find the answer right here

in the Book of John,

chapter one, verse 12,

"But as many as received Him,

"to them He gave the right

to become children of God,

to those who believe

in His name."

So, what does it mean to

not just believe but receive?

PREACHER:

And how does it lead us...

ALFIE:

So, did you ever go to church?

LESLIE:
Yeah, I went

to church as a girl.

Mm-hmm.

And my mom sung hymns to me.

But Lee and I moved on

from how we were raised.

And, uh, what is it

that Lee believes in again?

Just the facts.

(chuckling):

Okay.

I've always been

kind of curious,

but, uh, lately, you know,

having Alison and now...

It's just starting to seem

more important to know.

And I don't believe

that it was a coincidence

that you came to the

restaurant... I don't... so...

(chuckles)

What do I do with that?

What do you think

you should do with it?
