The Strong Swimmer

A little girl, walking with her nurse, along the esplanade, slipped her foot, and fell into the deep water. The nurse gave a loud cry, which was heard by a number of young men, who were bathing on the opposite side of the river. One of them at once struck out in the direction where the child was, and after several times diving under the water, he brought her up safe in his strong arms. A great crowd had gathered, and as he brought the unconscious child safe to land, he was greeted with a loud cheer.
Do you think that little girl ever forgot her deliverer? I think not. When she grew up to be a young woman, she gave him a beautiful watch in token of her gratitude.
There is One who went down into deeper waters, to save you from an eternal hell—Jesus the Saviour. Have you ever thanked Him for doing so? Have you believed His love, and yielded your heart to Him in return? Or do you slight His love, and despise His atoning death for your salvation?
“Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when. He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.” Heb. 1:33Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; (Hebrews 1:3).
“Sing unto the Lord, bless His Name; show forth His salvation from day to day.” Psa. 96:22Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; show forth his salvation from day to day. (Psalm 96:2).
