Download MP3 (right click to save) When the terrorists flew a plane into the World Trade Center that September 11, Genelle Guzman was one of the thousands trying to make it down those long flights of stairs to safety. She made it to the 13th floor when the tower came down. The next thing she knew, she was buried under rubble in a dark and dusty tomb, surrounded by some who had died and unable to move much of her body. She was there for 28 hours. Ultimately, she cried out to God to save her. Not long after that, she heard a noise above her. It was rescuers digging, and then a hand poked through that rubble above her. She grabbed that hand, and the rescuer said, “I’ve got you.” Genelle Guzman was the last person carried out alive at Ground Zero.
I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and Genelle’s only hope was a rescuer. Ron Hutchcraft’s only hope was a rescuer. Your only hope is a rescuer. Actually, God’s rescuer, sent to rescue you and me from the rubble and the death penalty of our sin against Him. One Bible writer realized how powerless he was to escape the power and penalty of his sin. He said, “Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 7:24-25 ). No matter how religious, how respectable we are, we need a rescuer. The only way we can pay for our sin is with an eternity in hell. But Jesus paid that penalty on the cross, and that may be that His hand is reaching for you even today. Your only hope of a rescue is to grab His hand. When He’s got you, you’re safe forever. We’d love to help you begin a relationship with Him. There’s a lot about that at our website. I hope you’ll go there today…ALifeThatMatters.org. This radio program references: Romans 7:24-25  |
