Softening the harsh impact


Jesus came to absorb the harsh impact of a sinful and broken world on us. He took the burden of our sin, and its painful consequences, in order to bring us into communion with God, God's love, grace and salvation in body, mind and soul. We are to follow Christ in word and deed. How do you soften the impact of others as they journey through this harsh world, those close to you and those you don't even know? Click here to link to one web-story of Robert Cook (far left in picture), who harnessed himself to a first time jumper in order to soften her impact through the use of his body as he realized their plane was crashing. What Scriptures come to your mind as you consider this awesome story and act of personal self-sacrifice?
