Recently I came across a true story that happened
during the Holocaust of the Second World War.
Solomon Rosenberg, his wife and their 2 sons were arrested,
together with Rosenburg's mother and father, for the crime of
being Jews. They were placed in a Nazi concentration camp.
It was a labor camp, and the rules were simple."As long as
you can do your work, you are permitted to live. When you
become too weak to do your work, then you will be
exterminated."
Rosenberg watched as his mother and father were
marched off to their deaths. He knew that the next would be
his youngest son, David - because David had always been a
frail child.
Every evening, Rosenberg came back into the
barracks after a day of hard labor and searched for the faces
of his family. When he found them they would huddle
together, embrace one another and thank God for another day
of life.
One day Rosenberg came back and didn’t see those
familiar faces. He finally discovered his oldest son, Joshua,
huddled in a corner, weeping and praying. He said, "Josh, tell
me it’s not true." Joshua turned and said, "It is true, Dad.
Today David was not strong enough to do his work. So they
came for him.""But where is your mother?" asked Mr.
Rosenberg. "Oh Dad," he said, "When they came for David,
he was afraid and he cried. So Mom said, 'There is nothing to
be afraid of, David,' and she took his hand and went with
him."
That illustrates a mother’s love-- a love so strong
that it chooses to give up life so her child can be comforted.
This is also a picture of the sacrificial love Jesus has for us.
To keep us from fearing death, he went before us. He met
death head on-- then returned from the grave so we would
have hope in the Resurrection. "O DEATH, WHERE IS
YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR
STING?" ...Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ."
In his book Six Hours One Friday, Max Lucado
tells the story of a missionary in Brazil who discovered a
tribe of Indians in a remote part of the jungle. They lived
near a large river. The tribe was in need of medical attention.
A contagious disease was ravaging the population. People
were dying daily. A hospital was not too terribly far away,
just across the river, but the Indians would not cross it
because they believed the river was inhabited by evil spirits.
And to enter its water would mean certain death. The
missionary explained how he had crossed the river & was
unharmed. But they were not impressed. He then took them
to the bank & placed his hand in the water. They still
wouldn’t go in. He walked into the water up to his waist &
splashed water on his face. It didn’t matter. They were still
afraid to enter the river.
Finally, he dove into the river, swam beneath the
surface until he emerged on the other side. He raised a
triumphant fist into the air. He had entered the water &
escaped. It was then that the Indians broke into a cheer &
followed him across. Isn’t that what Jesus did? He entered
the river of death & came out on the other side so that we
might no longer fear death, but find eternal life in Him.
Lee Strobel put it like this…
“If we were holding a trial to determine the facts
concerning the resurrection, and if we were to call to the
witness stand every witness who personally encountered the
resurrected Jesus and we cross-examined them for only 15
minutes, and if we went around the clock without a break…
we would be listening to first-hand testimony for more than
128 hours…that’s over 5 days worth of testimony. Who
could possibly walk away unconvinced?”
The stories…they are too similar. The written
history is too strong to deny what they saw and what they
experienced. Think about it!

Dear WMBC,
I want to convey a heartfelt “thank you” for your prayers,
visits to the funeral home, Bro. Eugene’s being there for my fam-
ily and his participation in the funeral service. Also, the precious
ladies who went above and beyond by fixing us a wonderful meal
and serving it to us. May the Lord bless you for your acts of kind-
ness.

Dear Church Family,
Thank you for all your compassion
and sympathy you have shown to me
in the death of my sister Velonda.
Thank you for the Bibles given in
memory of her. She loved her God
and her church family. Also I want to
say thanks for all the cards sent,
phone calls made and the visits to the
funeral home. I have such a GREAT
church family.

Dear Walnut family,
THANK YOU so much from the bottom of our hearts for
your support of our mission trip at the spaghetti luncheon. We are
once again overwhelmed by your generosity as contributions to-
taled over $1700.00, but the blessing that we received is not some-
thing that can be measured only in dollars and cents. We have
seen Jesus in the many ways love has been expressed through you
over and over again. The prayers, offers of help, words of encour-
agement, warm hugs and every act of kindness are all ways that
you have poured out so much love to us. We are deeply grateful to
God for all of you.
We are very excited about what God is going to do in our
lives and in the loves of the people in Ecuador. We look forward
to sharing with you in the coming months how He prepares, pro-
vides, enables, loves and works mightily in so many ways.
Once again, THANK YOU!! We appreciate EVERY-
THING so much more than our words can express. May God
bless you greatly for your goodness to us.
Much love,
Bethany & Molly Oakes and family
John 13:35
