5 Minutes Bible Study - So Others May Live

Back


Our Daily Bread In the film The Guardian, the viewer is taken into the world of United States Coast Guard rescue swimmers. Eighteen weeks of intense training prepares these courageous men and women for the task of jumping from helicopters to rescue those in danger at sea. The challenges they face include hypothermia and death by drowning. Why would people risk so much for strangers? The answer is found in the rescue swimmer's motto, "So Others May Live." In Foxe's Book of Martyrs, we read of a different kind of rescue that demanded extreme commitment and sacrifice. John Foxe records the stories of believers who suffered and died be-cause they proclaimed the love of Jesus. Knowing it could cost them their lives, these believers made the Savior known to a world in desperate need of Him. The apostle Paul, himself a martyr for Christ, expressed his passion for the hearts of people this way, "I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh" (Rom. 9:3). Paul so longed for his fellow Jews to come to Christ that he was willing to sacrifice all, "so others may live." May we likewise embrace this passion for the eternal souls of men and women. — Bill Crowder Rescue the perishing, duty demands it— Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide; Back to the narrow way patiently win them, Tell the poor wanderer a Savior has died. —Crosby The cross reveals God's heart for the lost.
