In the dark days of mid-20th century Europe , a lone German decided to make political waves . His choices put his own life in grave danger . Oskar Schindler was a businessman with factories in countries occupied by the Nazis . Jews everywhere were being shipped like cattle to extermination camps . Some of Schindler's employees were in danger . What did he do ?
He saved over a thousand of them by keeping their names on a list of employees necessary to conduct business . By war's end he had spent his entire fortune bribing officials to look the other way , while his workers remained in their jobs . Oskar Schindler took that road less traveled that we've all heard about jobs .
Oscar Schindler took that road less traveled that we've all heard about . Mark 16 , 15 says he said to them go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation In another life and death matter for much higher stakes . Jesus has called us who love him , to share the good news of his sacrifice with others , and sometimes this could place us in danger .
Sometimes we could lose friends or even alienate our own family . None of that matters . All that matters is that lost people who have no other hope for escape will rely on what we tell them about our King . Let's pray Lord , the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross has given us eternal life .
Please keep giving us opportunities to reach others with this good news In Jesus' name , amen .
