God's Love

There once lived a young man named John.
John, was just like any other ordinary man who had a family,consisting of him, his wife, Jenna, and his son David.
John had only 1 job n his job was to watch out for the train n when it is time, he must operate the controler to allow the door bridge down for the train to travel from one end to the other end of the town.
He did this to support his family while his wife collects rubbish for recycle.
They were still enjoying their life and had many happy moments together although they had a simple life.
However, not before long, his wife was infected with an unknown disease n she past away soon after living only john n david behind.
John was so sad that he cried himself to bed every night.
A year past by and john was still haunted by the death of his beloved wife.
One day, as usual, john had to continue with his job and david too was there with him.
John told David not to run around as he had to stand by watching for the train.
He was in deep thoughts flashing back the good old memories they once had.
Soon, John was alarmed by the presence of the train and at that moment he realised that david wasnt there.
He looked down from the control tower that was far from the bridge n saw David playing at the spot where the door bridge was meant to be.
John, quickly shouted at David to come back as the train was reaching n he had to let down the bridge.
For some reason,David was too happy playing alone n he didnt hear his father shouting desperately for him.
John got so nervous that he shouted with all his might n still,david didnt hear him.
John knew his duty that he must let down the bridge or many more will die as the train could not stop in such urgency!
He screamed n screamed to David n at the same time the train was getting closer, it was too noisy for him to hear.
The passenger of the train was getting nervous not been able to see the door bridge n John was given signal to let down the bridge.
Everybody on board the train was shouting,'John, John, let the bridge down!"
John, with tears rolling down his cheeks,he knew that he had to press the controller sacrificing his ONE and ONLy son.
3seconds.....2.......1.......he cried and closed his eyes which he couldnt bare to see, he activated the bridge and it was let down,sacrificing David.
The passenger just thanked john like any other day when he let down the bridge..
Guys n girls, the Lord was so loving that he sacrifice his 1 n only son to us as human eventhough we do not deserve it.
We are like the passengers, asking only the needs that are meant for ourselves n for our own sake.
But god, that is so merciful and loving, had to sacrifice his Son,Jesus Christ to wash away our sins.
Jesus Christ was beaten and bruised till no one, even his own mother could ever recognise.
He was then crucified on the cross for our sins.
N every drop of his blood, that droped from his body was used to wash away our guilty stains n sins...how great is the Lord..
