Easter’s Sacrifice
Telling of his experience as a prisoner of war, Ernest Gordon related how after work one evening, a guard noticed that a shovel was missing. Insisting that one of the prisoners had stolen it, he screamed for the guilty party to come forward. Then he prepared to kill them one by one, until someone confessed. Suddenly a Scottish soldier broke rank, stood to attention and said, ‘I did it.’ The guard beat him to death on the spot. When he’d exhausted his fury, the other POW’s picked up their friend’s body along with their tools and returned to camp. At that point the shovels were recounted. The guard was wrong. None were missing!
Someone else gave up His life for us this Easter with eternal implications. He changed my life when I believed in Him and confessed Him as my Lord. Have you ever considered him?
