On October 2, 1954, First Lieutenant James O. Conway was taking off from Boston Logan Airport, flying a plane that carried a load of munitions. When his plane became airborne, he suddenly lost power over Boston?s bay. In an instant, Conway faced a brutal choice?eject from the plane and save his own life, or crash the plane into the bay causing his own death.
If he ejected, however, the plane would crash into an East Boston neighborhood filled with homes and families. Amazingly, Conway chose to crash the plane into the bay?giving his life for the lives of others.
In John 15:13, Jesus said, ?Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one?s life for his friends.? The willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice to protect others shows a heart that cares more about the needs of others than the needs of one?s self. Someone once said that ?the measure of love is what one is willing to give up for it.? God the Father loved so much that He gave up His Son. Christ loved so much that He gave up His life?even taking our sins on Himself and dying in our place.
The measure of God?s love for you is great. Have you accepted His love personally? ? Bill Crowder
When Jesus gave His life for me,
Enduring all the agony
Upon the cross of Calvary,
He showed the love of God. ?Sper
Nothing speaks more clearly of God?s love than the cross of Christ.
