It was an unnecessary sacrifice...
Illustration
It was an unnecessary sacrifice. Rosemary had simply tried to break up a quarrel between two teenage girls outside her home one evening. A stranger pulled out a gun and shot her in the head. This mother of 11 children -- and "aunt" to many more through her friendliness and good cooking -- would not see the dawn of a new day.
Because sin creates such tragedies, Jesus came to set things right by giving up his own life for the sake of a crazy world. It was a necessary sacrifice.
