The Rescuer

Ending 1

It is several hours later and you are in a large brightly lit room, you are wearing a pair of trousers several sizes too large for you and a grey/blue shirt with the name "Smith" above the chest pocket.
The man called "Smith" is talking to a television news-reporter, there is a large crowd, you only catch a few words here and there.

"Yes, the sea was the worst I have seen ..........

Yes, there was only one man on the deck........what are you saying ?

One man or ten..........makes no difference."

Verses from the Bible

Lu:15:3: And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
4: What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
5: And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
6: And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
7: I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
 

Joh:3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Ac:4:12: Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
