Helping a Man in a Hole - NSPIRING STORY

A man was walking along and fell into such a deep hole that he could not get out. So he began to shout very loud for help. A learned professor came along and found him.


He looked down into the hole and began to scold him: "How could you be so careless as to fall down there?

You should be more careful. If you ever get out again, watch your step." And with that he walked away.

Then a holy man came along. He looked down into the hole and told the man, "I'll reach down as far as I can and you reach up as far as you can.


If I can grab your hand, I'll pull you out." But it did not work: the hole was too deep.


So the holy man said he was sorry, and left the trapped man to his fate. Then Christ came along. He saw the man's problem, and without asking him any questions, he jumped down into the hole.


Then he let the man climb up onto his shoulders, and even onto his outstretched arms. And the man got out.


This is known as being personally involved. A Christian gives his life for another.
