Just months earlier, in northern Thailand, members of the Wild Boars Football Team became trapped in a cave.
Barely a sliver of humanity had heard about this young group of boys (ages 11-16) before June of this year, when their coach led them into the Tham Luang cave on a team-building exercise that went terribly wrong.
They became trapped amid rising flood waters, forcing them to survive without food for nearly a week. Their dramatic, week-long rescue gripped millions of people around the world and was dubbed by many as a miracle (See image below).
But 2000 years ago there was an even more amazing rescue mission. Because of Adam and Eve’s disobedience, all of mankind was trapped in sin (Romans 5:12). Unable to break free, everyone faced certain death – physically and eternally.
And just as international divers joined forces with Thailand’s elite teams, plotting strategies and working in the face of tremendous odds to ensure they leave no one in the cave behind (in the process, sadly losing one of their own)…
God planned and provided a Rescuer – Jesus Christ, the Son of God, so that no one is left behind. And everyone who accepts the free gift of salvation offered through His death and resurrection is freed from sin’s grip and its resulting death penalty; Mission Accomplished!
Jesus died and rose again, and is now seated at the right hand side of the Father. Likewise, all who put their faith in Christ will be given life and will rise again into life everlasting.
Are you still trapped in your sins? You want out of porn and masturbation? You want out of fornication and adultery? Idolatry? Corruption? Greed? Homosexuality? Lies? You want out of the guilt of abortion, you want out of depression?
No sin and no sinner is worse off or impossible for God to forgive. And no ‘depressing’ situation is difficult for Him to deal with. Accept Jesus’ gift of salvation and enjoy freedom of life in Christ and eternity with Him.
“Dear Lord Jesus, I have sinned and I’ve been trapped in my sin. I believe in my heart that you came to die and rose again for my freedom. Come into my life today, free me from sin and give me life, and life everlasting Amen!”
Congratulations and welcome to the family!! Heaven rejoices greatly because of you. Get in touch with us, let’s walk together.
