One morning a family scrambled to leave home on time. The
date they had been waiting for had finally dawned—a perfect blue-sky summer
day. Their tickets had already been purchased, but they needed to make a
three-hour drive to board the boat. Soon they stopped for fuel—gasoline and
coffee. Then they headed for the highway. The miles flew by, until they turned
onto Route Six. Would they make it to Greenville by noon? Reduced speed limits,
road construction, and a restroom stop slowed their progress, but eventually
the vehicle pulled into the proper parking lot. They waited for their last name
to be announced; the confirmation came and they could finally view Moosehead
Lake from the vessel nicknamed “The Kate.”
This life is a journey toward eternity. People can either stay where they’re at, or they can go a new way, placing their faith in Somebody who has already paid the price for their fare. Sadly, not everyone accepts this gracious gift. If you haven’t yet, why not repent and trust Christ today?
