When I was in junior high school, we read fables from all over the world
one semester. I remember reading one from Russia about a servant and
master who went on a journey to a far away city. Many of the details have
been forgotten in time, but I remember the two men got caught in a raging
blizzard and lost their way, forcing them to be out in the elements
overnight.
The next morning rescuers found the master frozen to death face down in
the snow. The servant, however, they found alive trapped between the
ground and his master. Later he told his saviors that his master had
voluntarily laid over him so that he could live.
I hadn’t thought about that story in years until I thought about what Christ
did for us, for Jesus is the master who died for his servants. Only through
the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior, Jesus, do we survive and reach our goal.
He died so we can live.
