He was poor; he was feeble—a partially paralyzed man standing on a corner of a busy street. His face showed fear and almost despair at the terrible block of traffic that choked the thoroughfare. He wondered if he would ever be able to cross to the other side.
All of a sudden a tall traffic officer caught sight of him. Immediately he came to him and asked him kindly if he wanted to cross. A minute later, at a signal from the policeman, every vehicle stopped. With a rush the crowd of strong pedestrians crossed by themselves, while the poor, weak paralytic was gently led over by his strong helper.
Sinner, that is what the Savior does for every soul that trusts in Him. However weak your faith, look to Him to deliver you from the pit. He will stop the assaults of the devil, stay the destruction that follows guilt, and land you, a believer in Him, safe on "the other side.”
Will you trust Him?
