i could say that I would die for my son without hesitation, but I can't say for certainty I would for anyone on this forum. You're still talking a big talk Peter. I don't think too many believe you.
Sirk - In the end do any of us when push comes to shove say I would definately
do this and not that.
If I saw a problem coming I would certainly try and do something to help.
But you have to decide beforehand, how much does your life matter?
It is rare this choice even comes up. In war people have jumped on grenades,
or seen someone in trouble and gone out to help them.
A friend of mine was in a civil war. He was in the air force and was on the ground
at the time. A soldier had got hurt and needed helping. He saw there were bullets
flying everywhere so he went out to drag the guy to safety. He was one of the
enemy. My friend got a bullet in his chest, but the bullet was absorbed by a
flask he had in his top pocket. So you see in a need and take a risk.
I have helped people climbing and skiing, and am not afraid of risks.
And my life is in the Lords hands. So why do you guys say no, I would not
do that? Where is your heart? What are you living for? What is so safe you
would not risk it?
I have friends die of cancer, pnemonia, depression. Why not me? Why them?
Why am I so precious?
Christ calls us to reach out for others and take life seriously.
