"Not tonight"

I once heard this speaker tell a story and it moved me so much I need to share it. He was talking in front of a crowd, telling a story of love. This is what he said.

You know, if this building were to go up in flames I would come running back in here to save you (pointing to a member of the audience) and you and you and you. In fact, I would keep running in and out trying to save as many of you as possible. I would do this on any night, but not tonight. Not tonight. You know why? Because my son is sitting right over there. And I am willing to sacrifice myself for all of you, but I am not willing to sacrifice my son. Not tonight. Not ever. But, luckily, God is not as selfish as I. God loved us all so much that he sacrificed his ONLY son's life so that we would not perish, but have everlasting life. A price had to be paid for all of our sins, so God let his son die in order to save the rest of us.

How amazing isit to think about that?
