GIVING YOUR LIFE FOR OTHERS!

GIVING YOUR LIFE FOR OTHERS........ IT IS MENTIONED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. THAT SOME WILL DO IT.

ABC NEWS 20/20 .... TONIGHT INTERVIEWED AN OLDER MALE COUSIN OF ONE OF THE TEACHERS KILLED AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN CONNECTICUT THIS DAY OF DECEMBER 14TH.

HE TALKED ABOUT HER ALWAYS WANTING TO BE A TEACHER, TO HELP EDUCATE YOUNGSTERS.  HOW SHE LOVED CHILDREN. HOW SHE PUT HERSELF BETWEEN THE GUNMAN AND HER CHILDREN AND WAS SHOT AND KILLED.

THEN THEY PUT UP A PICTURE OF HER.....YOUNG SHE WAS, PRETTY SHE WAS, JUST STARTING OUT IN LIFE AFTER GRADUATING FROM HER CHOSEN WORK OF TEACHING YOUNG CHILDREN.

AS THE CHILDREN THAT WERE KILLED, THIS YOUNG LADY WHO DIED FOR THEM, WILL NEVER GO ON TO SEE ALL THE WORK SHE WANTED TO DO IN TEACHING CHILDREN. SHE WILL NEVER HAVE ANY CHILDREN OF HER OWN.

WHEN THE ABC INTERVIEWER ASKED THE COUSIN ABOUT HER UNSELFISHNESS, HE REPLIED, "NOT AT ALL SURPRISED, SHE LOVED CHILDREN, AND WOULD HAVE PUT THEIR SAFETY FIRST."

FOUR OTHER TEACHERS INCLUDING THE SCHOOL PRINCIPLE DID THE SAME....SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES TO TRY AND SAVE THE CHILDREN.

OTHERS IN THE PAST HAVE ALSO GIVEN THEIR LIVES THAT OTHERS MAY LIVE.

THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL WAS THE SECOND MEMBER OF THE GODHEAD, THE ONE WE TODAY KNOW AS JESUS CHRIST. HE GAVE UP GLORIOUS ETERNITY, DID NOT CLING TO IT, PUT IT TO ONE SIDE FOR 33 YEARS. WAS WILLING TO BECOME HUMAN, TO BE TEMPTED IN ALL POINT AS WE ARE, YET DID NOT SIN, OVERCAME SIN, THE PULLS OF THE FLESH, AND THE WILES OF THE DEVIL.

HE ALSO DIED THAT WE, YOU AND I, MAY LIVE. HE TOOK OUR SINS UPON HIMSELF, TOOK OUR DEATH PENALTY, AND DIED FOR US.

IT IS ALL FULLY EXPLAINED IN MY STUDY CALLED "SAVED BY GRACE" ON MY WEBSITE.
