When he caught sight of the train lights, he stepped to the controls and locked the bridge into a securely into position, allowing the train full of passengers to cross. One day, the switchman in charge of bridge controls was waiting for the last train to come. The same with Jesus' blood washing our sins.Ī turntable bridge spanned a large river. But we can show our grateful heart through actions.Ī shirt that was stained but then thoroughly washed does not have the stain anymore. Since Jehovah has done so much for us, it makes us wonder: Do I really appreciate all that he has done for us? We will never be able to repay what God has done for us. But Jehovah took that risk because of his love for us. And Satan worked hard to make Jesus stumble.The risk of forever losing Jesus was latent, was real. Jesus had freedom of choice, and he was going to be surrounded by corrosive influences. When Jehovah took Jesus out of his secure vault in heaven and sent him to the earth, he risked losing Jesus forever. But really, that was not the worst thing that could have happened. We always think of how hard it was for Jehovah to see his son suffering and dying.
That is what Jehovah did on behalf of humanity when he gave his own son as a ransom. But he was willing to go that far to show his love. By removing the Mona Lisa from his secured vault, he risked losing it or ruining it. Why did he do that? Wouldn't it have been easier just to give the money to the people at the outset? Yes, but he just wanted to show how much he loves the people by giving away his most precious belonging. Who was this man? It turned out to be the original owner, the rich man! He paid for it to himself, and gave the profit to the people. Then, a mysterious man bid so much money that was enough to save all the poor! He won the auction. The auction day arrived, but the people were poor, so they were not offering much.
So he took the Mona Lisa and gave it to the people and said: take it to the auction and use the profit on behalf of the poor. There he had the greatest piece of his collection: the real Mona Lisa. The people wonder: 'Wow, any of these could be good enough to save all the poor in town.' But then the benefactor took them to his most precious vault. There he has Picassos, Rembrandts, and Velazquez pieces of art. He tours them around his house and shows them his art gallery. They asked the richest man in town for help. In certain town, the people were trying to save the poor from starvation.
