It was so high up that it made me wonder what kind of person would risk life and limb to do something like that. Obviously someone who thought the message was important. Yet sometimes I wonder whether the Christian message means much more than that to our world. Certainly it seems to mean different things to different people.
Salvation is a very big word.
To one man it meant no more paralysis. To a woman caught in the act of adultery, it meant the possibility of another chance at life. To the Samaritan woman, it meant having someone know her more deeply than anyone had ever known her, and yet accepting her and offering her the gift of life. So that's where we need to start - at the point of our need, at the one place where we need saving. Yet the problem is, for most of us, that we aren't even aware that we need saving.
