When the Titanic hit an ice burg in April 1912 Pastor John Harper secured a spot for his six-year-old daughter in one of the limited number of lifeboats. He gave his life-vest to a fellow passenger and shared the gospel with anyone who would listen. As the vessel sank and hundreds of people awaited an unlikely rescue, Harper swam from one person to another and said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" ACTS 16:31(Taken from Our Daily Bread).
This story reminds us of this verse:
“But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry.”
2 Timothy 4:5
Mr. Harper kept his head in this deadly situation and did what was most important! Take care of family, helped others, and shared the gospel! We are all ministers and should share Jesus to lost souls!
As time draws near for either death or the Lord’s return are we keeping our head?
