Son is sacrificed to save many

A Track Inspector had to

decide: sacrifice the lives of

hundreds of passengers or his

son, who was playing in the

bridge gears which had to be

lowered.

“God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that

whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John

3:16).

Hanging in the balance

“Salvation is to be

found through him

alone” (Acts 4:12).

everything Jesus has done

to forgive you, and giving

Him Your life.

Avoid the big mistake: don’t rely on your own good deeds but on

Christ!
