��� ���

During the 17th century, Oliver Cromwell, sentenced a soldier to be shot for his crimes. The execution was to take place at the ringing of the evening town bell. However, the bell did not sound. The soldier’s fiancé had climbed into the belfry and clung to the large clapper of the bell to prevent it from sounding. When she was summoned by Cromwell to account for her actions, she wept as she showed him her bruised and bleeding hands. Cromwell’s heart was touched and he said, "Your lover shall live because of your sacrifice. Curfew shall not ring to-night!" Jackie Robinson, as the first African American to play baseball in the major leagues, faced hostile crowds in every stadium. While playing one day in his home stadium of Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, he committed an error. He stood at second base, humiliated, while the crowd booed. Without saying a word, shortstop Pee Wee Reese went over and stood next to Jackie. He put his arm around him and stared at the crowd. Suddenly the fans grew quiet. Robinson later said that that arm around his shoulder saved his career. Not only do we have One who will come, stand by us and put His arm around us, we have a Savior who was willing to hold onto the bell clapper so that we might live. “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that every-one who believes in him won't perish but will have eternal life.” Aren’t you glad Jesus didn’t wait to come alongside us, grab the bell clapper and go to the cross? “True love” really doesn’t wait!
