STUCK
By John Kerr

            We shared a lot of stories when we had family time together at the passing of my mother-in-law.  One was about Jan’s brother, Dave, when he was a small boy.  He and the neighbor boy were climbing a tree.  Dave got stuck in the tree.  After the laughter died down I had a few questions about the rescue.  The neighbor boy went to get Dave’s mom.  She came out for the rescue and got him out of the tree.

            She didn’t tell the neighbor boy to give Dave the message that he got himself stuck, he can get himself out.  She didn’t say that she had better things to do and couldn’t waste her time on him.  She didn’t tell him that if he hadn’t been climbing trees this never would have happened.  She did what he could not do.  Mom came to the rescue and got him out of the tree.  A simple story that will not be forgotten.  There was no doubt that she loved her son!

            Jesus didn’t say you got yourself into this sin mess, get yourself out.  He didn’t say he would not waste his valuable time and leave heaven for such a lowly task.  He didn’t say that if we had never played around with temptation we never would have gotten ourselves in the messes we are in.  Our Savior did what we could not do.  He rescued us.  A simple yet profound story that will not be forgotten.  I think he loved us!

            Romans 5:6You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
