THEME: THE HIGHEST GIFT ONE CAN GIVE
It was Nikolaus Michaelson in a film
named
The Originals that said, “I will protect Hope my daughter with my last
drop of blood”. This is not equivalent to what God did for and to us
but just to compare it for us to see what likely God has done for us.
There was a video sent to me through
WhatsApp by a friend. The video is a story of a man who had a daughter. The
mother of the child died at the 4th year of the child. The father
was left to take care of the daughter. After her graduation from school, she
fell Ill. She was taken to the hospital by her father. When they conducted
test, they found out that she had heart problem (heart failure), she needed a
new heart but she was not told. One day at the bed side, she told her father to
do anything he can to save her, though she was ignorant of the type of sickness
she was suffering from. He promised her that she will do that. After pondering
on the whole thing, he went to the doctor and asked him to take his heart. The
doctor objected but after all said and done, his heart was taken but before
that he wrote something and asked them to his daughter to read when she must
have recovered. After some months of recovery, she was given the write up to
see what her father did for her. He used his life in exchanged of her
daughter’s own. Though ethically “it is not right to take life no matter what”.
This story is just to show us how our Lord Jesus Christ offered himself to
redeem us. Out love the father sacrificed himself, out of love our Lord Jesus Christ
sacrificed himself. Continue Reading.................
