“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Friday; April 18, 2008

 

          If you were going to go on a trip to a place you’d never been; what would you do?  When most people are confronted with this situation, they consult their trusty map and plot their course.  Whether it comes via the internet or from the folded up copy in our glovebox, a map can be a lifesaver when trying to pursue our destination.

          In our spiritual lives, where do we want to go?  Most of us would answer something like “to an eternal life with God”.   While many of us are on this quest, none of us has ever been there before, so how do we know how to get there?  The answer is the same one found in any pilgrimage.  If we are looking for the way to heaven, we need a map … one that is commonly called the Bible.  Thousands of years before MapQuest, a young believer was commended because he had “… known the sacred writings which are able to give … the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”  (II Timothy 3:15)

          Are we on a course that leads to salvation?  If not, let’s get out the map and get back on track.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
