"The Ship That God Himself Could Never Sink"
She was the pride of man. A modern day Tower of Babel. A symbol of man's arrogance against God. She was a ship called The Titanic. The largest ship in the world built by man during her time in the year 1912.
Vaunted and touted as a ship that "God Himself could never sink" by its owners, the media, its crew and passengers, it would take around 400 million dollars to build today.
April 15, 1912 was its first and last voyage. She was all to easily torn apart by an iceberg. Around 1,500 lives were lost during this fateful day. For more than 100 years now, the Titanic is still underwater. No one was able to salvage it.
An expert said: “Aside from the parts made of brass, eventually there will be nothing left of Titanic but a rust stain on the ocean floor.’”
Applying this to spiritual salvation, many people today are on board a ship called Good Works, Religion and Good Character. They believe and are sure of it that this ship could take them to heaven. Man in his pride thinks that he can pull himself to heaven by his own bootstraps. Eternal disaster awaits those who are on board Man's Titanic.
In their pride, they bypass the Lord Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross for man's salvation. In their arrogance, they willfully became ignorant of the Lord Jesus Christ---God's Titanic! A ship whom God would never sink.
