Time To Get Off This Sinking Ship And On To That Lifeboat

True story...

One winter during World War II, a group of Jews were left on a small island to die. They were left there with nothing...not even clothing. One German soldier decided to go back to die with them and said as much to his fellow soldiers before leaving. When asked why, he said, "Because they have more to die for...than I have to live for."

Many Germans did not want to serve in the German Army during that time, but since to refuse meant to die, they did. Others hated what they had done so much that they could not handle their guilt and committed suicide. Tragic how so many lives were lost and ruined because of one evil madman.

There was a thief on either side of Jesus when He was crucified. One died doubting, while the other sought mercy and forgiveness...and died after receiving it.

I'll tell you one thing, I sure hope I'm on God's good side when my time comes.

OinK!
