Last week, Sharon and I logged about 1500 miles on our car. We began our journey by driving to East Rutherford, NJ. More than once, I made a wrong turn and got a bit "bewildered" (never lost, though!). We then drove from East Rutherford to Rocky Hill, CT - and then from there to Bar Harbor, ME. Having never driven in these areas before, there were times we had to double check our maps and even stop and ask for directions! (yes this did happen, even while I was behind the wheel!) With help, we always made it to our destination ... and eventually back home!Every day we are surrounded by people who are lost ("bewildered"). Sadly, many do not even realize that they are lost. But the Bible is clear. "We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way" (Isaiah 53:6). If one of these lost people were to ask you for "directions," would you be able to point them to God? Could you explain to them the gospel? Only in the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ will people be able to find their way to God and freedom from their sin. So let's be sure that we can give those around us the directions they so desperately need to hear!
Thanks for listening,
pj
