Before radar and sonar, and other devices that detect objects, in the waters, there were many maritime accidents that occurred. Early pioneers experienced many hardships, and difficulties as they set out on their journeys. They learned through trial-and-error hand through much loss from time to time, what lay beyond the scope of what they could see. Now much to our advantage, we have a compass, a radar, a guidepost so to speak. (It’s the Word of God!) We also have one who has gone on before us. His name is Jesus who is called Christ. A safe passage is available to all who call upon Him with their whole heart, and are willing to make His Word, their Word.
God was their Safe Passage of Old
Isaiah 43:1b,2
Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
Jesus, God’s Son Is Our Safe Passage in the New
John 10:7-10
7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
