Sacrifice: His Life for Others
Many years ago in Canada a young man, his wife, his two children,
and another young man were pursued by a large pack of hungry wolves.
When about to be overtaken, they shot some of the wolves. This stopped
the wolves a short time while they devoured the dead ones. Again about
to be overtaken, they cut the lead horse of the three-horse team
loose. The wolves pounced upon him and devoured him. The people were
trying to reach the place of safety; but, before they could do so, the
wolves were upon them.
The young man who was with the other young man and his family said,
"The only hope is for me to give myself to the wolves." Then he
immediately leaped from the vehicle into the pack of wolves. Of course
he was devoured immediately. Just as they reached the place of safety,
the wolves were again upon them; but the family rushed in and was
safe. They could scarcely rest. They said, "Our friend gave himself
for us. We are living because he is dead." So it is with us. Christ
did not save himself. He gave himself. He is our Substitute.
