There once lived a man who had a wife and young son. The mans job was to throw a switch when a train approached that swung the bridge closed so the train could safely pass. When no train was coming the bridge remained open so boats and ships could pass underneath. For a long time the man and his small family lived happily. One day the man heard the train whistle off in the distance. He threw the switch. The bridge closed up so the train could pass freely. Then all of a sudden he heard a sound that made his heart stop. He heard his son screaming. His foot was caught where the two ends meet. The switchman looked down the track and saw the train rapidly approaching. He could have thrown the switch back and freed his son but the train would have derailed sending many passengers into the water. He made a decision. He turned his back and the train passed safely thereby sacrificing his son to save who knows how many passengers. Imagine the switch man's anguish as he goes home to tell his wife what happened.
How does this word picture affect us? We are all passengers on the train of life. Many of us go about our daily lives oblivious to the sacrifice our Father in heaven went thru in sending His Son to be born as a human and eventually die not only to prove thata perfect man could remain faithful, but also give a ransom Iin exchange for many. Good day folks
