Early one morning a rockslide developed near the top of Snoqualmie Pass in the state of Washington. Boulders crashed thunderously down a mountainside, splintering trees as they rolled and bounced. As it swept onto a highway, it demolished and buried two trailer trucks in its path.
When the rumbling was first heard a flagman, knowing what was happening, stopped both trucks and shouted, “Don’t go any further! Run for your lives!”
One driver obeyed the warning. He jumped out of the cab and barely escaped the crashing boulders. The other driver stayed inside his cab, thinking he would be safe. Hours later his crushed body was removed from the smashed cab by rescue workers.
There is another “flagman” calling out a warning to you. Will you listen? The Bible tells us there is judgment coming on this world, because we are all sinners. It also tells us there is a safe place for anyone who will listen to God’s Word and obey it.
God saw that we were lost in our sins and on our way to hell. God loves us and sent the Lord Jesus to save us. On the cross He took the punishment that we deserved for our sins. If you will believe that He died for you and accept Him as your Saviour, He promises to save you. Do not wait any longer. The warning has been given. Run to the place of safety before it is too late.
