Imagine your group of friends go on a world trip. You’re having a great time but in an unscheduled stopover you are kidnapped.

The terrorists want $10 million, but there is no hope. No-one is negotiating with terrorists, and your families can’t pay.
Stuck in a cave in a backward corner of the world. You have no hope.
But then something totally unexpected happens. The President of the United States agrees to trade places with your group.
The terrorists can’t believe it. Of course they’ll trade. With the US President in their cave they have a chance of winning!
Whatever you thought of the US President before, now you could only feel honour and indebtedness.
This is Easter – the God of the universe has given Himself up to free you from the clutches of evil.
I feel indebted.
