OUR two friends were enjoying themselves by climbing the great rocks by the sea, but they had not noticed that the tide was coming in, which would prevent them from returning to their home.
What could they do? They could not climb any higher to get away from the rising water. They were indeed in a dangerous position.
Could they—would they be saved?
How like this is to the condition of many a sinner! He sees the tide of judgment rolling in. He cannot climb the precipitous cliffs of safety by his good works. What can he do? Can he be rescued? “What must I do to be saved?” may well be his agonizing cry.
Happily, for the two girls, their need was seen and a boat came to their rescue.
And happily for the sinner his peril has been seen, and the way of salvation has been provided. The Lord Jesus came and suffered and died in order that He might reach and rescue us.
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” Acts. 16:31.
