O you know the story about Grace Darling? The little folk in our picture have heard it many times, I'm sure, and so have come to put flowers on her tomb. You see her grave is near the ocean side.
Her father was a lighthouse keeper in one of the islands of the sea, so she learned to love the water, and not to be afraid of it.
Early one morning a steamer was wrecked near the lighthouse, and the people were rapidly perishing. In spite of the danger of such an undertaking, Grace Darling begged her father to go with her in a boat to try to rescue some of the drowning. They made two trips over the stormy, heaving billows and saved nine out of the sixty-three passengers. News of this brave deed spread rapidly all over, and people made tip a large sum of money to give to this heroine.
This is one who risked her life; do you know of One who willingly gave His life to save others? You could never be saved had this One not given His life for you.
You are a sinner, and you could never meet God with even one sin upon you. Jesus died on the cross to put away your sins; His life blood was given for you. “Without shedding of blood is no remission.” Heb. 9 :22.
This means your sins could be remitted or put away in no other way, than by the blood shedding of your Saviour.
Do you really love the Lord Jesus in return for all that He did by dying for you? How much you owe Him for all that He passed through to put away your sins! Have you believed all this ? Have you accepted Him as your Saviour ? Nothing good that you can do can save you; remember,
