Along with all of my Christian Brothers, I can declare that Jesus saves. Here is an account of the message Jesus gave to me when I was saved.

I can remember it clearly like it was just yesterday. I was swimming in the crystal, clear water off of Cabo San Lucas, when I realized I had forgotten to put my sun block. I turned around to head back when I saw a yacht with about twelve handsome men onboard. I wasn’t paying attention to where I was swimming and in a split second I cut my leg badly on a reef. I could see the blood and I knew I was in a bad situation. I yelled out to the boat, “Help!” I became faint and went underneath the water. I heard a voice say, “Do not covet your neighbors possessions.” I thought to myself, does this mean no more trips to Macy’s?
I found myself back on the surface and thought I saw someone walking towards me. I must have been delusional. I went underwater again saw my whole life pass in front of me. I came up and thought this would be last time I would see the sky. I went under the water thrice and felt a strong hand rescue me from the water.

I awoke to see several men surrounding me. One of the men steeped towards me and said, “I am Jesus and I have saved you from watery depths.” I didn’t know what to say and fell to my knees. Jesus said, “Bid me to come inside of you.” (Note: All of this was in Spanish, so it’s likely that some nuances have been lost). Jesus took me to a cabin under the deck. It was something that I will never forget. It was a powerful, jolting epiphany when Jesus entered me. We went back topside and had some wine, bread and cheese. Jesus liked to make wine and owns a vineyard in Baja California.

We sailed into port and before I left, I said, “Jesus what should I do?” Jesus said, “Enter the narrow gate, for if the gate is wide the way is easy. For if the gate is narrow, the way will be hard, that leads to life and those who find it are few. Be a fisherman of men. He that receives you receives me. I do not come in peace, but with a sword. Sow good seed and remember the playing field is the world.” I walked away feeling I had been reborn to spread his message and tell the story of how I invited Jesus into me and how he saved me from the watery depths.
