A last minute testimony

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:20.

A last minute testimony
A French magazine collected several testimonies of men condemned to death in certain states of the U.S.A. They were remarks made before their execution. Many revealed rebellion, but what Michael W. H. expressed was moving:

"First I should like to express my sincere regret to the family of Amy (his victim). I have caused them a lot of pain, mourning, chagrin and suffering, and that causes me profound distress. I know that I cannot bring her back among us. Know that meanwhile I am no longer the person I was; that person is dead. I should also like to say to my family: I have caused you a lot of suffering. I ask your forgiveness. I am a big fellow who cries like a baby; but I do not cry for myself; I weep for those who are no longer, for those who are dying and who do not know God, those who have not been freed from their sins.

I have been in prison for thirteen years. But I have not been confined to myself all these years; I am free, for Christ has changed me. Even if I must die for my wrongdoing, He has paid for mine more than I could ever pay Him back!"

Dear reader, do you know such freedom and peace as emanate from these words of Michael's expressed only a few minutes before his death? You are most certainly not a criminal, but you need the same Saviour as he did: Jesus Christ.

Today's reading: Isaiah 53:1-12 Â· Hebrews 12:18-29

FALSE PROPHETS AND THEIR PROPHECIES-THE FALSE PROPHET

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the...More

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

The bankruptcy that saves

None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him - for the redemption of their souls is costly, and it shall cease for ever.

You were not redeemed with silver or gold from your aimless conduct but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and...More
