_On November 26, 2008, a gang of Islamic terrorists stormed the historic Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in Mumbai. After the carnage that took over two hundred innocent lives ended, one of the guests who had been at the hotel for dinner that night was interviewed by the media._
_An Indian-born English
actor, he described how he and his friends were eating dinners when they heard gunshots. Someone grabbed him and pulled him under the table. The assassins came striding through the restaurant, shooting at will, until everyone (so they thought)
had been killed. This man, however, found himself miraculously alive. When the interviewer asked him how it was that
everyone at his table and in the room was dead and yet he was
alive, his answer was sobering: *“I suppose it’s because I was
covered in someone else’s blood, and they took me for dead.”*_
_This is a perfect metaphor of *God’s gift through Jesus* to
each one of us. *Because he paid the penalty for our sin—
because we are covered in the blood of his sacrifice—we may
have eternal life.*_
- *Ravi Zacharias*, _Has Christianity failed you ?_
