Decision of The Father

After some praise has singing as usual on sunday, the pastor rose up and slowly walk to the pulpit and preach. 

"A father and son and friend to his son went sailing the Pacific Ocean," he started, "when the storms come up quickly and no way to go back to the land. Wave is very high, so even if the father is an experienced sailor, he can not control the boat so that they fall down to sea. " 

The pastor stop a moment and consider the two teenagers who listen to stories with full attention. He continue, "With the rope holding savior, the father must make very difficult decisions in his life .... To the child which he will throw the rope. He only had a few seconds to make decisions. " 

The father knew that his son was a partaker of Christ, and he knew that the friend is yet. Struggle that accompanies the decision making process is not can be compared with the violent waves. When the father said, "I love you, son!" He threw the rope to a friend of his son. And save him to the boat, his son has disappeared out in the darkness swallow waves in the night. His body not found. " 
When the two teenagers who sat in the front, waiting for the next words of the pastor. "The father," the pastor continue, "know that his children will go into eternity and be saved by Jesus, and he was not able to imagine if his friend step in eternity without Jesus. Therefore, it is sacrificing its own children. How great the love of God, so that he do the same to us. "The pastor back to his chair. 

Some time later, two teenagers sitting on the side of the pastor. "The story is interesting," a teenager start with polite conversation, "but I think that is not realistic for the father to give up living with her son only hope that the friend of his son will be the a Christian. " 

"Yes, once you are correct," answered the pastor. And then He looked both young people ith a wide smile and face and said, "Of course it is not realistic isn’t? But I here to tell you the story that opened my eyes about what actually happens when God gives his Son for me. You know ... I am a friend of his son. "
