 Robert Fulton (1765-1815) was an American inventor who designed and built the world's first commercially successful steamboat in 1807. On the evening of February 4, 1815 he and his friend, Thomas Addis Emmet (1764-1827), were walking home on the frozen Hudson River when the ice broke beneath Emmet, plunging him into the freezing water. Fulton saved his friend, but got soaked to the skin in the process. When he arrived home, he was so hoarse he could hardly talk. During the following days, his sickness grew worse. On February 23, 1815 he died of consumption, at the age of 49.
Just as Robert Fulton died as a result of saving his friend, "Christ died for us… that by His blood we might also be saved" (Rm 5:8,9). Let us therefore not "neglect so great salvation" (Heb 2:3) but "repent... for the remission of sins" (Act 2:38) and be "born again" (1Pe 1:23) that we may receive "the gift of God which is eternal life" (Rm 6:23).
