A BBC 999 programme once featured the story of a boy who disobeyed his parents and went to play by a stream across which ran a large water pipe. Foolishly he tried to walk across the pipe but he fell into the stream and was injured. He was rescued by the fire service but later when a fireman asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up he replied, “A fireman!” The fireman had become his greatest hero so he wanted to be like him.
Jesus came down to rescue us from the injuries of sin. His love should inspire us to follow in His steps.
