Grab the Rope

Two men were in a boat at Niagara Falls and found themselves caught in the current. The men jumped from their boat and swam for the shore. At the last minute, ropes from the shore were thrown out to them. One man grabbed the rope and was pulled to shore.

The other man grabbed a rope, but at the same moment the rope came into his hand, a log floated by him. The confused man, instead of hanging onto the rope, grabbed the log. It was a fatal mistake. Both men were in imminent danger, but the one was pulled to shore because he had a connection to the land. The other, clinging to the floating log, was carried over the falls and was killed.

A saving connection with God has been offered to us in Jesus Christ. He’s on the shore holding the rope. As we lay hold of Him with the hand of faith, he pulls us to shore. However, there are also logs that pass by us. We have to cling to one or the other. Today you have a choice to make. Reach out to Jesus and be saved. He's there waiting for you.
