PONDER THIS

Suppose you’re on a cruise ship, and you fall overboard, and the ship goes on without you. Let’s say you’re about ten miles offshore. Most of us can’t swim that far. You’re out in the ocean and maybe you don’t know how to swim at all and up comes a man in a high-powered speedboat. He says, “Look, you’re drowning. Let me show you what to do.” And he jumps in the water and begins to do the backstroke and the breaststroke, and says, “This is what you do.” That man’s not a savior, he’s a teacher, and you’re probably going under.

Or suppose the man stays in the boat but begins to circle around you and tell you what to do and gives you instructions. He takes out a book and reads about swimming and safety. Again, you likely drown. You don’t need an example; you don’t need an instructor. You need to be brought into the boat! What you need is a Savior.

Jesus is the only Savior. Thank God for His example and thank God for His teaching and all the other wonderful things we have from Him, but we cannot forget He is the Savior. Salvation by grace is an amazing thing.

• When did you realize your deep need of a Savior?
• How has your life changed since Jesus became your Savior?
