- John Newton was born in London July 24, 1725
- He became the servant of a slave trader and was brutally abused
- He became captain of his own ship, and transported slaves
- While he was attempting to steer his ship through a violent storm he exclaimed, “Lord, have mercy upon us.”
- Wrote the following, “Thro’ many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; ’tis grace has bro’t me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.”
Once a man who transported slaves for trade - now a man that God has sovereignly saved. Unreal!
