The Old Game Of Hide And Seek
You know the game. Although there are a lot of variations of it in the world, let me tell you the way we played it:
One player buries his face in his hands on a certain spot and then the others would scamper and look for a place to hide. After he finished counting to "a million," he would then come out of his spot and start looking for them.
The first player to be caught in his sight becomes the "It," he becomes the next seeker and predator. Only the person who is able to make contact and take refuge on the agreed and approved spot will be "saved."
Many people today are playing hide and seek with God. They know that they are guilty and so they run away from God's judgment, hiding and taking refuge in just about anybody and anything they could think of that could save them.
Many take refuge and hide themselves under the pile of their good works. Others take refuge and hide themselves behind an image of a saint. Some take refuge and cover themselves with religion.
Sadly, none of these will do. The only hiding place from God's wrath and judgment is God Himself in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ. "You (God) are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble..." (Psalm 32:7).
There is only one divinely approved spot in the world where one could hide and take refuge from God's judgment---it is Calvary where the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins. The sinner who takes refuge in Calvary by faith is saved and delivered.
Ac 4:12 "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
Come and take refuge in the Savior and what He did on the cross!
