Ocean of People
By: Michelle Jacobson
Oceans... There’s water in 'em! :-)
It may seem a bit absurd but the ocean can
easily be compared to a world full of people.
They're constantly moving yet it seems like
they aren’t moving very far at all!
If you move to different parts of the ocean
you’ll find that some parts are warm and
friendly. These parts encourage you to visit
and stay awhile.
You know some people that are that way.
Other parts of the ocean seem cold and
unfriendly. They encourage you to move
on.
You know people that are that way too.
Gravity
There is a force that drags water back into
the ocean called gravity. :-)
There is an enemy of God and His children
who is called Satan (no smiley face). He
works to drag people away from Jesus (the
Rock). As we’re told in John 10:10 that he
comes to steal, kill, and destroy.
Satan comes to deceive you into sinning.
Each sin brings a curse. Curses are open
doors for they enemy to attack people and
keep them miserable.
Jesus changed all of this when He became
the last sacrifice (1Corinthians 15.45). His
death on the cross breaks the curses brought
on by the law for all who believe in Him.
There is freedom from the law, freedom
from curses, and freedom from Satan.
Jesus came to give us that freedom.
The Beach
There are the beaches where the water comes
to the land. If the ocean really is various
people then the land would be Christ Jesus.
Jesus provides a place to land and stay. He
is powerful and has overcome Satan. When
people go to the Rock they find security,
peace, and joy. :-)
The Sky
Jesus is the one that lifts us up into flight
with Him. We can then fly with Him forever...
