CHANGE SERVICE REQUESTED
Robert Coleman, in Written in Blood
(Fleming H. Revell), tells of a boy whose
sister needed a blood transfusion. He was
the ideal donor because the two children
had the same rare blood type. When the
doctor asked, “Would you give your blood
to your sister?” the boy hesitated.
Finally, with a trembling lip, he said,
“Sure, I’d do it for her.” Soon a nurse
inserted a needle into the boy’s arm. As he
watched his blood flow out, his voice shook.
He asked, “Doctor, when do I die?” The
doctor then realized the gravity of the boy’s
decision. He’d thought giving his blood to
his sister meant giving up his own life.
The boy’s love for his sister mirrored
Jesus’ love for all. Fortunately for us, Jesus
loved us so deeply that he was willing to
die so we might live.
