Only One Way Out
Only One Way Out
About 80 men fighting a forest fire were being trapped, and didn’t know it. The pilot of a small aircraft, seeing the danger, risked his life by flying low enough to drop weighted messages to warn them of the impending danger. His messages told the firefighters that they were being surrounded by fire, but the pilot could see a way out, and could guide them to safety.
The men believed his warning and obeyed him immediately. They dropped their tools immediately and followed their guide in the sky. They ran through a narrow, flame-lined corridor and all reached the highway safely.
It’s interesting to note that these men did not stop to argue about the message that came from above, to see whether it was real. Neither did they take any chances by trying to find their own way out. They believed the only one who had a view of the whole scene. They ran for their lives, and were saved.
God, who alone views the whole scene of this troubled world, has sent His Son to save men, and He calls on them to believe the message He has given them, the Bible.
How futile to try to find other ways to save ourselves! We all need help from above – and Jesus Christ is the one God sent to save us. The Bible says, “Jesus ... rescues us from the coming wrath” (1 Th. 1:10). And Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes unto the Father except through Me” (Jn. 14:6 NIV).
Believe Him! Jesus is our only way out, our only way to eternal safety in heaven. If you need more help, contact us. We’ll send you something.
