No Greater Love - Part 2

as the father yelled out , "I love you son!" he threw the line to his son's friend. By the time he pulled the firned back to the capsized boat, his son had disappeared beyond the raging swells into the black of night. His body was never recovered, " the pastor continued.

By this time, the teenagers were sitting straighter in the pew, waiting for the next words to come out of the old man's mouth.

"The father," he continued, "knew his son would step into eternity with Jesus. He could not bear the thought of his son's friend stepping into an eternity of hell. Therefore, he sacrificed his own son. how great is the love of God that He should do the same for us."

With that, the old man turned and sat back down in his chair as silence filled the room. After the service ended, the two teenagers were at the old man's side. "That was a nice story," politely started one of the boys, "but i don't think it was very realistic for a father to give up his son's life in hopes that the other boy would be become a Christian."

"Well, you've got a point there," the old man replied, glancing down at his worn Bible. A big smile broadened his narrow face, and he once again looked up at the boys and said, "It sure isn't very realistic, is it? But I'm standing here today to tell you that story gives me a glimpse of what it must have been like for God to give up His Son for me. You see... I was the son's friend to whom the father tossed a rescue line."
