“I have set before you life and death, …therefore choose life. – Deuteronomy 30:19
Before the space shuttle program, the recovering of the returning astronauts from space was carried out by ships and helicopters as the space capsules parachuted into the ocean.
This is actually a wonderful image of how God hovers over the world seeking to pluck from sin immortal souls who are in danger of “drowning” in hell.
He tosses out a line to all those who are in trouble offering safety and help. Some grab on to God’s line and freely receive the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ. They are pulled to safety, and eventually, taken to Heaven.
But others ignore the line, or even push it away, believing they are not really in peril, or that they can make it to safety on their own.
Tragically, they are lost not because God rejected them, but because they rejected God.
Don’t make the wrong choice!
