Trapped
Do you remember the Chilean mine explosion in 2010? The first info suggested there was little hope that anyone could survive. 33 miners were trapped for 69 days but they were amazingly located and rescued. A man named Manuel Gonzalez at risk to his own life went underground 2,000 ft. to bring the trapped men to the surface. On live tv one by one each miner was rescued and brought to freedom.
I've thought about that a lot. Isn't that what happened to mankind? Rom. 5:12 - "...through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin..." Trapped!! Of course, the problem is that many people don't know they are trapped until they are facing death. I'll guarantee those miners knew they were trapped. I'll bet they thought about their souls for 69 days and prayed for forgiveness. And I'm certain that as soon as they were free several forgot their spiritual promises they had made.
Fortunately, our God has provided a Rescuer ---Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Have you been set free through an obedient faith in Him?
