US immigration agents have detained an 89-year-old man at his Ohio home ahead of deportation to Germany to face trial for alleged Nazi war crimes.
John Demjanjuk is accused of being an accessory to the deaths of some 29,000 people at the Sobibor death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland in World War II.
His family claim that Mr Demjanjuk, who was carried out of his home in a wheelchair, is too ill to be deported.
Mr. Demjanjuk' story is analogous to our own. Think about it. We will all one day stand before our Creator God and give an account for what we've done, whether good or bad. Have you kept his commandments? If our earthly justice is blind insomuch as to not erase guilt because of age, how much more will a holy God remember your sins? I assure you, God is Holy and will not pardon the guilty. God is merciful, however. Here's how he shows his mercy. He has sent His only begotten Son into the world. Jesus, the God man, has lived the life that God required of us - He never once sinned in thought, word, or deed.Moreover, he died as a sinless substitutionary sacrifice. God will not let sin go unpunished, therefore if you trust in Jesus, a great switch occurs. You will have Jesus' perfect righteousness credited to your account, as Jesus would have paid for your crimes (sin). In this way, God is glorified as he is seen for being merciful in forgiving us-type people, and we receive all the benefits of a loving God. More than just dying however, Jesus did raise from the grave on the 3rd day, and now ever lives to intercede for all those who trust in Him. Have your sins been forgiven? Do you trust in yourself; in your own goodness? Or, do you trust in Jesus for your justification before a Holy God?
