Sailor on Bus in San Francisco: Atomic Bomb Exploded Over Hiroshima
I vividly recall an experience I had as a youthful unbeliever, steeped in intellectual despising of the Christian faith. It was August 1945, and the atomic bomb had just been exploded over Hiroshima. As we commuters boarded our bus, people were shaking their heads and wondering whether this new weapon would destroy the world. A sailor responded quietly, “No, the world won’t ever be destroyed by atomic bombs. Jesus won’t let that happen. He’s coming back first.” As an unbeliever, I was completely silenced by this weapon of unquestioning confidence. It was biblical boldness, grounded on a certainty that came from the Spirit of God, that defeated my unbelief.
