I work as a chauffeur, taking on driving assignments as requests come in. Today, I was tasked with escorting the branch manager of a bank to a factory in a rural area. The branch manager remained silent and visibly tense during the drive. Upon our arrival, he stepped out and said, “I’ll only be a few minutes. Please be ready to leave as soon as I return.”
True to his word, he was back in the car within moments. This time, his face was beaming with relief. He made call after call, cheerfully telling each person that everything had gone smoothly. As it turned out, the matter had already been arranged—he only needed to obtain a signature. I found myself wondering why he had come all this way for something so seemingly minor. Couldn’t he have sent a staff member in his place? But perhaps that was precisely the point. It was important—important enough to handle in person.
God, too, did not send an angel in His place. To save His children, He came Himself. Their salvation was a matter of utmost importance to Him. I am deeply grateful for the boundless love of God.
