Wireless messages were recently exchanged by two Christian seafarers as their ships passed by each other out of sight and well out to sea.
One message read: “On opposite courses yet bound for the same final destination, Christian greetings. Proverbs three.” The reply sped back through space: “Many thanks. Christian greetings, anchor secure.”
The first message spoke of a course and destination which each one of us has in this world; and it is our decision that decides our eternal destiny for heaven or hell. Whither bound, friend? If you know the Lord Jesus Christ as your own precious Saviour, you are bound for heaven, but if not, you are bound for judgment.
The second message, “Anchor secure” would tell us of those who have anchored their souls on the Lord Jesus for time and eternity. We urge you to come to Him for salvation, for He is the way, the Truth, and the Life which every one of us must take to reach the Heavenly Harbor.
“Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast.”
