Warren Wiersbe tells a story about the days of the Old West. There was a horse bolting down the road with a wagon hitched to it and little boy trapped on the wagon. A young man risked his life to catch the horse and stop the wagon, saving that little boy.
Well, that little boy grew up to be a criminal and one day stood before a judge to be sentenced for a serious crime. The prisoner recognized the judge as that man who years before had saved his life.
He pled for mercy based on that experience, but the words from the bench silenced his plea: “Young man, then I was your savior; today I am your judge, and I must sentence you to be hanged.”
One day Jesus
