At just 16 years old, Corion Evans saw a car sinking in the river and didn’t wait for someone else to be brave. He jumped in. Three girls were trapped. A police officer began struggling. And this young man kept swimming.
His words were simple: “I can’t let none of these folks die.”
That is what love looks like when it moves faster than fear.
Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” But real love does not stop to ask, “Are they my friends?” Real love sees people in danger and moves.
In a world where so many record tragedy, this young man responded to it.
May God raise up a generation that does not just see people drowning physically, spiritually, emotionally, and silently — but says, “I can’t just stand here. I have to help.”
Because courage is not about age.
It is about love.
And love always jumps in.
