A Devastated City And Salvation
You are in a devastated city, a virtual ghost town. Alone, afraid, helpless, weak and needy, you trudge your way wearily through its streets, with a biting hunger in your stomach and a drought inside your mouth.
Each step is a march towards the grave if no help comes. Suddenly, out from a clear blue sky, a chopper appears with a red cross on it. Help has come.
You frantically waved your hands with all the strength that's left in you. The helicopter descended in your direction and you are saved out of a sure death.
This is a picture of salvation. We are in this world, a spiritually devastated place, ravaged by the strong winds of sin and the surges of depravity. Spiritually, we can do nothing to save ourselves. Sure eternal death, separation from God forever, awaits us. Help must come.
But out from heaven, the Son of God came and died on the cross and resurrected, mighty to save anyone who will trust in Him and what He did on the cross.
The Bible says: "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved." Romans 10:13
Whoever calls upon the Lord Jesus, trusting in Him alone and what He did on the cross, shall be saved. Will you call on Him?
