Abraham Lincoln
After The Battle Of Gettysburg
Year’s later in a reply to a preacher of The Gospel of Jesus Christ who had asked Abraham Lincoln if he was a Christian.
Abraham Lincoln said this:"When I left Springfield, (Illinois) I asked the people to pray for me;
I was not a Christian.
When I buried my son, the severest trial of my life,
I was not a Christian,
but when I saw the graves of thousands of our soldiers,
I then and there, consecrated myself to Christ.
I do love Jesus."
(Recorded in "Words Of Lincoln." by O.H. Oldroyd, published in 1875 by Mershon Company on page 154.)Return to Learn History Index
