It’s a rare day when a person rescues someone, but it is even more uncommon when the heroic pursuit is done by a family member. In this video, an NBA star jumps into a pool to save his 2-year-old son from drowning.

As the family is by the beautiful pool, the two-year-old and woman have their feet in the water. The young boy accidentally falls into the pool. The woman begins screaming and instantly Andre Drummond runs and jumps in after his son. Formerly a Laker, Andre signed recently with the Philadelphia 76ers. His athleticism is put to the test in this scary moment. He runs quickly and grabs his toddler, pulling him out of the water to the rescue. He is not only a father, but he is a hero.

I think about how the young boy is unaware of the potential danger and falls into the pool helplessly in this video. His dad was watching him and went to take care of the boy and pull him out of danger.

This is how our Heavenly Father loves us as well. We all have fallen into sin and are headed for destruction, but by His grace, through Jesus, we can be rescued from eternal death. That is our Great God. Jesus is our Hero. He is the one who saves our souls and gives us life.

“He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty for me. They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support. He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.” Psalms 18:16-19
