Authorities believe that a father’s act of shielding his 13 year old daughter during a rock slide in Colorado probably saved her life. Grace Johnston told her rescuers that when the boulders were coming down on top of them her Dad covered her and protected her. In the rock slide, both of Gracie’s parents, her sister and two cousins were killed. The bible tells us how Jesus, God’s son willingly took the punishment for our sin when He died on the Cross. Paul described the Savior’s heroic act as follows-“But demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” But it is still up to us to make a decision to accept or reject this sacrifice. An old hymn asks -“what will you do with Jesus? Neutral you cannot be. Someday your heart will be asking, what will He do with me?
