The Winklers with their find
In April of 2015, retired post office worker Marianne Winkler was wandering along the coast of Amrum, an island off the coast of Germany, when she happened upon a message in a bottle. Inside, a postcard requested its return to a British marine biologist, George Parker Bidder, with the promise of a single shilling upon arrival. After careful study, Guinness World Records has deemed it the oldest message in a bottle ever found, after it spent 108 years and 138 days floating in the North Sea.
This was indeed a remarkable discovery. However, the message of salvation through Jesus has been available for nearly 2,000 years! Don’t keep that message bottled up! Spread it far and wide!
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses…”—Acts 1:8.
