THEY were cut off by the incoming tide. No way of escape was open to them.
What could they do? The cliffs above them could not be climbed, the waters around them could not be passed. They were in peril indeed.
Could they be—would they be saved?
How like to their condition is the condition of many a sinner! He sees the tide of judgment rolling in. He cannot climb the precipitous cliffs of safety by his good works. What can he do? Can he be rescued? “What must I do to be saved?” may well be his agonizing cry.
Happily for the two girls, their need was seen and a boat came to their rescue.
And happily for the sinner his peril has been seen, and the way of salvation has been provided. The Lord Jesus came and suffered and died in order that He might reach and rescue us.
