As the Titanic slowly sank into the icy lap of the Atlantic at 2.20 AM on the fateful night of April 14 -15, 1912, a most unusual occurrence was witnessed on the scene.

The members of the ship's orchestra joined by a few others sang, " Nearer My God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee"; it was with this song in their throats that they went down to the bottom of the sea. The sound waves of this song lingered on the surface of the water as the singers disappeared into the jaws of Death.

Many ships have sunk in the oceans and many have died; but among all those events this one stands by itself-the most touching, the most written about and the most remembered. The main reason for this is the fact that a few on board this sinking vessel were able to transform that moment of terror and pain into an opportunity for showing the reality of their strength and faith in God.

Their words and behavior proved that they had had victory over Death through their Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God who became Man, suffered death on the cross for all the sins of mankind, rose from the grave on the third day and ascended to heaven.

The courage and calmness they displayed in the face of death tell us that those who accept Jesus as their Saviour and Lord can say " O, DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O, DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?" (I Corinthians 15:55 - BIBLE).

Won't you like to receive eternal life and forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ and be transformed into one who does not have to fear death? Don't you like to become as courageous as those brave souls on the deck of the Titanic, who calmly faced death singing their song of victory and committing their spirits into the hands of their heavenly Father?
