being rescued from the hand of our enemies

This story is making headlines, and well it should. It's not often that human beings display such random acts of kindness to complete strangers. There is something amazing about reaching out to help someone when they are at their lowest, and for no other reason than the selfless desire to help.

Friend, that act of kindness worth $30K pales into comparison to what Jesus Christ did for you.

Do you know that you are headed for a fate worse than homelessness? The Bible says that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and that the wages of sin is death, eternal death. You are headed for lakes made of fire and unending darkness and a restlessness borne of a wandering soul separate from the God that created it.

But the Bible also says that when we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. That when we were at our lowest in the depths of the miry clay, Christ reached out to us with nail-pierced hands. That when we needed selflessness and a home for our weary souls, that a loving Savior bore the sin of the world on His flayed back and said, "This? All this? For you." And unlike fishing trips for repayment, the Bible says that salvation is the free gift of God.

Looking for that rescue? Looking for a place your soul can call home? Eternity is yours, if you would but ask Jesus Christ into your life this very day. Going once, going twice...
