Salvation’s Savior
The Bible says: “And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou
be Christ, save thyself and us. But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the
same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:39-43 (KJV)
The clock of life is wound but once, And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands
will stop At late or early hour.
To lose one's wealth is sad indeed. To lose one's health is
more. To lose one's soul is such a loss That no man can restore.

“A marshal in Napoleon’s
army; a man who was devotedly and enthusiastically attached to him; was mortally wounded in battle. As the last struggle drew
near and he lay dying in his tent, he sent for his chief. Napoleon came. The poor man thought his emperor could do anything.
Perhaps he even sought to put him in the place of God. So, he earnestly pleaded with his leader to save his life. The emperor
sadly shook his head and turned away. But as the dying man felt the cold, merciless hand of death drawing him irresistibly
behind the curtain of the unseen world, he was still heard to shriek out, “Save me, Napoleon! Save me!” In the
hour of death, that soldier discovered than even the powerful Napoleon could not give him physical life.
“Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, And brought
them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.” Acts 16:29-31 (KJV)
