John Harper, a Scottish Baptist evangelist, became one of Christianity's greatest unsung heroes during the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. His extraordinary sacrifice and unwavering commitment to share the gospel even as the ship sank demonstrates a faith that challenges us to examine our own priorities.
• Harper was a 39-year-old widower traveling with his 6-year-old daughter Annie and his sister to preach at Moody Church in Chicago
• After securing his daughter and sister on a lifeboat, Harper chose to remain on the sinking ship to evangelize
• Harper gave his life vest to an unsaved passenger saying, "You need this more than I do"
• While swimming in freezing waters, Harper moved from person to person asking, "Are you saved?"
• Harper's last words were quoting Acts 16:31 to a drowning man: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved"
• The story parallels Stephen's martyrdom in Acts 6-7, as both men died with faith-filled words on their lips
• These examples challenge us to prepare our hearts to prioritize the gospel even in life's most desperate moments
