Two Anxious
Mothers
Pastor
Cornlius R. Stam
Setime ago, in Chicago, a little baby was kidnarght out of her mother’s arms in a hospital room, while another mother left her baby in a cardboard box on top of a garbage can.
We have the feeling that in all probability the woman
who abandoned her baby — and it probably was a woman — was just
as much beside herself as the one who had her baby stolen from her
arms.
A Registered Nurse told us some time ago that the
proportion of mothers who do not want their babies is becoming
alarming. We do not believe that these women wouldn’t want their
babies under normal circumstances. Everybody loves a baby! But in
such cases sin has come in to bring trouble and shame and misery.
Some of these mothers are unwed and have been disgraced; others are
separated or divorced from their husbands or would have to bring
their babies home to nothing but bickering and trouble. Still others
have passed diseases on to their babies and wish that they had never
been born.
This is how sin wrecks lives and homes, but it is
wonderful to know that “Christ Jesus came into the world to save
sinners,” as we read in I Timothy 1:15. How does He save sinners?
First He bore the penalty of sin for us: “Christ died for our sins”
(I Corinthians 15:3). But He will save us from sin’s control too,
if we let Him. Romabs 6:14 says to believers in Christ: “For sin
shall not have dominion over you, for ye are not under the law but
under grace,” and millions have proved this to be true.
Salvation is more than a religious term, or a feeling or sentiment, it is actual deliverance from the penalty and power of sin, through the redemptive work of Christ on Calvary, where He “put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself” for every one who simply but sincerely trusts Him as Lord and Savior.
