meet stephan

i've seen stephan walking all over town carrying a loaf of bread and a bible.
today i saw him sitting on the steps of a church near my house.
i couldn't resist.
i walked up to him and said "hi... i'm peter. and you are?"
"i'm stephan" he said
i forget what i said next, but he responded "i can only talk about jesus".
"well, ok" i said, "i see you walking all over town. do you live near here"?
he said "yes.... i'm an evangelist. I tell people the gospel and i pray for everyone i see on the street".
we talked for a while. i got the sense that stephan is trying to follow every jot and tittle of the old testament law.
i told him i was under grace and not under the law and that i was forgiven for everything past present and future; that i could do anything i want.
he said "even murder"?!?!?
"yes" i said. "but if i'm following the lord, it's pretty unlikely that i would murder"...
i could see in his eyes that he thought i was a heretic.
i like stephan.
he's full of grace and peace.
"bless you" i said. "bye"
