SAVED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA

Off the Florida coast, Mike, a professional diver, was engaged in salvaging parts of a ship which had sunk some months previously. He had just descended one morning and was making his way slowly toward the sunken hull when he noticed something white in the mouth of an oyster or shellfish of some sort. Stooping, Mike picked up the small piece of battered white paper and turned his marine light on it. A gospel tract! He read its message slowly and carefully, and convic-tion struck home to his heart. If God's message of mercy in Christ had pursued him to the bottom of the sea, he could not hold out any longer. Right there and then, Mike accepted Christ as his Saviour. When he returned to the surface, he took with him the little tract which had "followed" him to the bottom of the ocean. (e-sword)
