Ki-Suck Han died shortly after being pushed onto the tracks of a New York City subway Monday. Han tried unsuccessfully to make it to safety before being hit by a train. A photographer took a picture of Han standing before the oncoming train. The photo appeared on the front page of the New York Post, accompanied by a headline that read in part: “This man is about to die.”

Many were outraged that the newspaper chose to run the picture. Some wonder whether the photographer could have used those precious seconds trying to save the man rather than taking this dramatic photo. He claimed that he wasn’t strong enough to lift Han to safety. We may never know if this story could have had a better ending.

The Bible urges us to do whatever we can to save people from going into eternity without Jesus. “Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them…” (Jude 22-23).

When we think about evangelism, there are numerous dramatic scenarios constantly being played out all around us. Let’s try to have as many happy endings as possible.
