1 Circuit RIDER T.G.I.F. For most folks, Friday is their favorite day of the week. The shout of the day is Thank God it s Friday. As we enter the last few days of the Lenten season, one particular Friday also marks a great day in the lives of Christians. Good Friday is the day the Church of Jesus Christ intentionally remembers His sacrificial death on the cross for the sins of the world. Several years ago I came across a story that I think helps to illustrate the meaning of Good Friday. Every Friday, until his death in 1973, an old man named Eddie used to visit an old broken pier on the eastern seacoast of Florida. Walking slowly and slightly, he carried a large bucket of shrimp. The sea gulls would flock to this old man, and he would feed them from his bucket. Many years before, in October, 1942, the old man, who was much younger, was on a mission in a B-17 Flying Fortress to deliver an important message to General Douglas MacArthur in New Guinea. Somewhere over the South Pacific the Flying Fortress became lost beyond the reach of radio. Fuel ran dangerously low, so the men ditched their plane in the ocean. For nearly a month Captain Eddie and his companions fought the water, the elements, and the scorching sun. They spent many sleepless nights recoiling as giant sharks rammed their rafts. The raft was nine by five. The biggest shark was ten feet long. But of all their enemies at sea, one proved most formidable: starvation. Eight days out, their rations were long gone or destroyed by the salt water. It would take a miracle to sustain them. And a miracle occurred. Captain Eddie recalled, Captain Cherry, the plane commander, read the service that afternoon, and we finished with a prayer for deliverance and a hymn of praise. There was some talk, but it tapered off in the oppressive heat. With my hat pulled down over my eyes to keep out some of the glare, I dozed off. Something landed on my head. I knew that it was a sea gull. I don t know how I knew, I just knew. Everyone else knew too. No one said a word, but peering out from under my hat brim without moving my head, I could see the expression on their faces. They were staring at that gull. The gull meant food, if I could catch it. And the rest, as they say, is history. Captain Eddie Rickenbacker caught the gull. Its flesh was eaten. Its intestines were used for bait to catch fish. The survivors were sustained and their hopes renewed because a lone sea gull, uncharacteristically hundreds April 2014 of miles from land, offered itself as a sacrifice. And now you also know that he never forgot. Because every Friday evening, about sunset, on a lonely stretch along the eastern Florida seacoast, you could see an old man walking, white-haired, bushy-eyebrowed, and slightly bent. His bucket filled with shrimp was to feed the gulls, to remember that one, which on a day long past, gave itself without a struggle. (The Old Man and the Gulls from Paul Harvey s The Rest of the Story) On Good Friday we remember that on a day long past One gave Himself sacrificially without a struggle so that ALL who place their faith and trust in Him might have forgiveness for their sins. That One, of course, was Jesus Christ the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Through Christ s sacrificial death, all who are lost in the ocean of sin and rebellion against God are rescued and saved. For those who have experienced this forgiveness of God, the shout of Good Friday is Thank God I m Forgiven. As we approach the last few days of Lent, may God bless you as we journey from Golgotha s Cross to the Empty Tomb. 195 Broad Street, Wadsworth, OH wadsumc@wadsumc.org Web: wadsumc.org Worship Services: 8:15am, 9:30am and 11:00am Sunday School: 9:30am and 11:00am
