Twelve sailors were packed into a heavily overloaded lifeboat after their ship had been wrecked. One of them deliberately jumped overboard in order to lighten the boat. The brave fellow perished, but eventually his eleven mates were saved.

For which of the eleven did he die?

If Christ died for all, He died for each one. He died for me; He died for you.

The sun shines for all mankind; but I know as a fact that it shines for me, and it would if not another soul survived. So Christ loved ME, and gave Himself for ME.

“The Son of God who loved me, and gave Himself for me.” Gal. 2:20²⁰I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20).

A.T.P.

Memory Verse: “I HAVE SET BEFORE YOU LIFE AND DEATH, BLESSING AND CURSING: THEREFORE CHOOSE LIFE.” Deut. 30:19¹⁹I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: (Deuteronomy 30:19).
