DAILY READINGS: Numbers 15; Proverbs 12; 1 Peter 4
But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
On September 25, 2008, father of three, Austin Hemmings of Auckland New Zealand was fatally stabbed after going to the aid of a woman who was being assaulted. Austin, a Christian, stepped in to save the life of a stranger and in doing so gave his own life. In a vastly greater way that’s what Jesus did! He sacrificed His life for the whole world. When we were unable to help ourselves Jesus died in our place so that we might live. Have you received Him as your Saviour. Have you thanked Him for taking your place? —J. Fleming
The death He died was mine, His suffering was for me,
The life I live today is His and I’m forever free. —J. F.
