CHRIST, BORE THE SINS OF MANYThe Bus Driver's GiftDate: 8/2006.101 Hot Illustrations for Youth Talks 4 P105 One afternoon a bus driver was taking 40 children home from school. As the bus made its way down a steep grade, the brakes failed. The driver was unable to steer the bus to the left because of a high embankment or to the right because of a steep cliff. As the bus hurtled down the hill, the driver recalled that there was a narrow gate at the bottom which led into a field. He decided to try to steer the bus through the gate and into the field, figuring that it would eventually come to a safe stop. He hoped that no cars or other obstacles would get in his way before he got to the gate. When the bus reached the bottom of the hill, the driver saw the gate approaching fast. But to his horror, he noticed a small child sitting on the gate, waving at the bus. It was too late to change plans now. If the driver tried to avoid the gate, 40 children would die. He cried out in anguish as the bus slammed directly into the gate. The innocent child died instantly in the collision, but the bus and all of its passengers were saved. Emergency vehicles were the first to arrive on the scene, followed shortly by relieved parents and grandparents. Many of them wanted to show their appreciation and gratitude to the driver who had kept the bus under control long enough to save their children. But the driver was nowhere to be found. They asked the police officer where he had gone. "They've taken him to the hospital," the officer said. "He's suffering from severe shock." "Well, that's understandable," they replied. "No, you don't understand," said the officer. "You see, that little boy on the fence was his own son." Application: God's decision to save us came to us at a great expense to himself. Jesus cried out in the garden, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me" (Matthew 26:39). But it was God's love for us that sent Jesus to the cross (John 3:16). He gave his only son so that we could live. CHRIST, BORE THE SINS OF MANY The Draw Bridge Operator – GospelDate: 6/2006.101 YOC - July 2006 - Lock in: Be A Mountaineering Guide (Mark) Apr 29 2012 DCFC Chinese [Worship Acceptable to God] Mal 1:1-5 A call to respond to God’s love More Hot Illustrations for Youth Talks P46 There was once a man who worked in a small town as the operator of a drawbridge on a river. A train track ran across the bridge, and the operator's job was to keep the bridge up when no train was coming so that the boats could pass underneath. When the train approached, he was to blow the whistle and let down the bridge. One sunny Saturday morning, the man brought his seven-year-old son along to work with him. The boy could frolic along the river, skip rocks on the water, chase butterflies or even try to catch a fish. Shortly before noon, a passenger train was due to come through the area. The man began to make preparations to let the bridge down so the train could pass safely across the river. As he examined the bridge, he noticed that someone - a small child - had somehow climbed over the guardrail next to the bridge, and was playing at the very spot where the bridge would come down. As he looked closer, he realized with horror that the child was his son. In desperation, he yelled out his son’s name, but the sound of the approaching train drowned out his screams. He knew he had to make a quick decision. If he lowered the bridge now his son would die as the train plunged into the river. He barely had time to think. As he screamed in agony, the main thrust forward the lever to lower the bridge just as the train arrived. His son died instantly. And as the train passed by, the people just smiled and waved as they passed by the man in the control booth, with his head bowed low, oblivious to what had just taken place. Application: Isn't this what God did for us? The Train and the Boy
我曾经在Youtube看到这个短片。当中有一个父亲把独生的儿子带到他工作的地方。他的工作是控制一座铁桥。当火车来的时候，他需要把桥放下让火车可以开过下面的那条河。那天中午时有一列火车正开过来。他准备把桥放下来，突然发现有一个小孩越过了栏杆，正好在桥跟铁轨的连接处。他仔细一看，原来是自己的孩子。他大声喊叫孩子的名字，但火车的响声把他的声音淹没了。他知道需要赶紧做出一个决定。把桥放下，他儿子就没命。不把桥放下，火车里上百人的生命就没了。他只能含着眼泪，按钮把桥放下，好眼睁睁看着自己的独生儿子被桥压死。火车安全过了桥，而火车上的乘客有的在睡觉、有的在看报纸、有的在讲话，根本没有意识到发生了什么事。他站在一边对火车大叫，“难道你们不知道我为你们做了什么？” CHRIST, BORE THE SINS OF MANY The Puppy Nobody Wanted - Jesus Paid the Price For US!Date: 6/2006.101 DCFC English Worship 22 April 2007 - Rom 12:1-2 Sept 2007 FWC Retreat: The Kingdom is Here - Kingdom Transformation Rom 12:1-2 Sept 3-5 2011 RCCC Retreat [Renewing our first love for Christ] Renewing our minds for worship Rom 12:1-2
More Hot Illustrations for Youth Talks P143 The sign on the door said "PUPPIES FOR SALE" and so the little boy went inside to look. The man inside the pet shop showed him 5 little puppies who were ready now to leave their mother. They were about the cutest dogs the little boy had ever seen. "How much are they?" the little boy asked. The man replied, "Some are fifty dollars, some are more." The little boy reached into his pocket and pulled out some change. After counting it, he said, "I have a dollar and forty-seven cents." "Well, I am afraid I can't sell you one of these puppies for a dollar and forty-seven cents, little boy. You'll have to save your money and come back next time we have more puppies for sale." About that time, the pet store owner's wife brought out another puppy that had been hidden in the back of the store. It was smaller than the other puppies and had a bad leg. It couldn't stand up very well and when it tried to walk, it limped very badly. "What's wrong with the puppy?" asked the little boy. The pet store owner explained that the veterinarian had examined the puppy and had discovered it didn’t have a hip socket. It would always limp and always be lame. "Oh, I wish I had the money to buy that puppy!" exclaimed the little Boy with excitement. "That's the puppy I would choose!" "Well, that puppy is not for sale, son. But if you really want him, I'll just give him to you. No charge." But the little boy got quite upset at this. He looked straight at the pet store owner and said, "No, I don't want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as the other dogs you have for sale. I'll give you a dollar and forty-seven cents now and I'll give you fifty cents a month until I have paid for this dog in full." The pet store owner was perplexed. "You don't really want to spend your money on this little dog, son. He is never going to be able to run and play with you like the other puppies." Then the little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted, crippled left, and supported by a big metal brace. He looked up at the pet store owner and said, "Mister, I don't run and play too good myself. I figure this little puppy is going to need someone like me who understands." Application: Scripture says that you were "bought with a price." Jesus paid a very high price for you when he went to the cross. He did it because he loves you and wants you to be with him. And he understands what you are going through. As it says in the book of Isaiah, he was the "Suffering Servant" who "bore our iniquities." He tool all of the pain we deserve upon himself. You may feel like an outcast, a nobody. You may think nobody likes you, that nobody wants you. You may be suffering, going through difficult times. Through all of that, you can be sure that Jesus understands. He knows exactly how you feel.
