Bottoms up!!

Monday May 21st, Acts 16: 29-31 The jailer got a torch and ran inside. Badly shaken, he collapsed in front of Paul and Silas. He led them out of the jail and asked, "Sirs, what do I have to do to be saved, to really live?" They said, "Put your entire trust in the Master Jesus. Then you'll live as you were meant to live—and everyone in your house included!" The jailer didn’t take a membership class, his children weren’t baptized or instructed in the meanings of the words of institution or the office of the keys. All he was, was some poor guy whose life as he had known it, had come to an end. He could fall on his sword or he could “really live.” He chose the latter. Often it is not until we reach bottom that we can see up. His only qualification for membership in the church was that he had nowhere else to go. Would that I had more in my congregation like that!!!!
