Kerusso Daily Devotional - Saving Souls

Some think the concept of “the brotherhood of man” is just a quaint saying. A nice thing to dream about, but without much practical truth. Our series this week presents real-life examples of just such a reality.

John 15:13 says, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."

One Chinese diplomat stationed in Austria in 1938 proves that decency is still found all over the world.

Feng Shan-Ho was able to help more than 2,000 Jews flee the Nazis, because he provided them with visas. These literally became priceless, because everyone was being watched carefully.

For two years, the unassuming Shan-Ho helped persecuted people make their way to Shanghai, and freedom. And it’s really cool to realize he was named “Righteous Among the Nations” for helping Jews survive the Holocaust in Europe.

Feng Shan-Ho put himself in harm’s way by defying a government that enjoyed murdering innocent people. It was terror on a grand scale. But God has His men and women placed in important places, at just the right time.

There is no greater love than putting someone else’s needs above your own. It’s something to think about.

Let’s pray. Lord, make us available when others need help. Give us courage to see it through. Amen.
