Swimming Is Forbidden
Matthew 4:1-11

A man by the name of Richard Lederer collects funny signs.  Some of these are simply the result of people in foreign countries having difficulty translating into English.  He says that at the entrance to a hotel swimming pool on the French Riviera there is a sign that reads like this: "Swimming is forbidden in the absence of a saviour."

Maybe the person who put up that sign knew English better than we may suppose. Not only swimming but life itself should not be lived in the absence of a Saviour.
