Each Veteran’s Day, and every day, many people make their way to that long, black wall in Washington—the Vietnam War Memorial. A while back, a photographer decided just to hang out at the wall for a while and record what he saw there. And later, those photos became a beautiful tribute book. Early one morning he got down in the grass to shoot a new remembrance that had been left there overnight. It included an American flag, a Greek flag, a picture of a soldier, and a simple three-word inscription. Suddenly the photographer felt a gentle hand on his shoulder. And there standing behind him was an elderly man who just asked, “What do you think?” The photographer told the man how moving it was, and the man just smiled and said, “I’m glad. I put it there yesterday.” And that’s when that little three-word inscription suddenly took on new meaning…”Only One Son.”

I’m Ron Hutchcraft. There’s no more important statement in all the Bible than these 26 words. If you’ve never heard them; if you’ve heard them 1,000 times, listen this time as if your life depends on it—it does. “For God so loved the world that He gave His One and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16 ). God sent His only one Son to die for every wrong thing you’ve ever done.

When you stand before God, He won’t ask you about anything but one thing. “What did you do with My Son?” There’s only one answer that will get you to heaven, “I’ve pinned all my hopes on Him.” If you haven’t, you need to.

We’d love to help you be sure you belong to Him. Would you go to our website ALifeThatMatters.org.
