Roger was the swimming instructor at a large college for
men.
One night, not able to sleep, he decided to go for a swim in
the pool. He thought his would relax
him so that he could get to sleep.
“I did not turn on the lights in the pool,” he said, “for I
knew every inch of the place, and the roof was made of glass. The moon was shining brightly as I climbed p
the ladder of the high dive. As I stood
there ready to dive, I saw the shadow of my body on the wall at the other
end. It was in the form of across. As I
looked at the shadow of the cross, I began to think of the cross of Christ and
its meaning, I knew the way of salvation, but had not accepted Christ as my
Saviour.
“I cannot say how long I stood on the diving board, or why I
did not dive. I climbed back down from
the board and walked along the pool to the steps that I knew led down into the
water. As I descended, I was shocked
when, instead of the warm water, my feet touched the cold, dry floor of the
pool! The night before the pool had
been drained for repairs. If I had dived, the forty-foot fall to the bottom
would have killed me!”
“The cross on the wall saved me that night. I was so thankful to God for His mercy in
sparing my life that I knelt on the bottom of the empty pool and asked the Lord
Jesus Christ to save my soul. I
experienced a two-fold deliverance that nigh, for the Lord heard me and gave me
peace and the joy of knowing that my sins were forgiven, I knew I was saved.”
Roger was not only delivered from physical death, but also
from eternal judgment. How is it with you?
Are you on your way to heaven, or to hell? This may be your last opportunity to be saved. Make the Lord Jesus your Saviour NOW. You will have a new life in Christ, you will
have peace with God, and you will be able to look forward to spending eternity
with Christ. In spending eternity with
Christ, in heaven - the home of the
redeemed.

thereof are the ways of death.” Prov. 14:12
