Twelve sailors were packed into a heavily loaded lifeboat after their ship had been wrecked. One of them deliberately jumped overboard 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.
