*TOPIC: IS IT WELL WITH YOUR SOUL?*

_” For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” Mark 8:36._

*MESSAGE*

If you died today would you go to heaven? Before you answer, read this story. It is the story behind RH 527 in the Redemption Hymnal.

In 1871 fire ravaged the city of Chicago, leaving three hundred people dead and a hundred thousand homeless. Attorney Horatio Gates Spafford, a friend of Evangelist D.L.Moody helped its people get back on their feet. After two years of tireless effort, he and his family decided to take a much-needed holiday. They planned to travel to England and join Moody in an evangelistic crusade,then go on to Europe.

When Spafford got delayed he sent his family ahead, planning to meet them on the other side of the Atlantic. But they never made it. Near Newfoundland their ship collided with an English sailing vessel and sank within twenty minutes. Spafford’s wife, Anna, survived by clinging to some floating wreckage, but all four of their daughters drowned. The next day Spafford received this terrible two-word telegram from his wife: ‘Saved alone!’ He immediately went to be with her. Later, in course of relating their story to Evangelist D.L. Moody, Spafford said quietly, ‘It is well; the will of God be done’.

It was those days of overwhelming grief that inspired him to write the beloved hymn that has comforted so many: ‘When peace live a river attendeth my way; when sorrows like sea-billows roll. Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say: It is well, it is well with my soul.’ Can you sing those words? You can when you accept Jesus as your personal Saviour. Why don’t you do it today? Who knows what tomorrow will bring?
