Wise Maker, Wise Savior—Proverbs 8

Imagine you’re at the bottom of a deep, dark pit. It shouldn’t be too hard, because, spiritually, we’ve all been there. Maybe you’ve never been anywhere else.

Now imagine someone lets down a rope to you. “Just grab on and I’ll pull you out!” he yells. But when you are about to grab the rope, a thought hits you. What if the rope isn’t strong enough? What if it breaks when you’re almost out of the pit? The pit is very deep. You would break bones in the long fall back into darkness. But if you don’t grab the rope, you’ll never get out.

It’s a bit like that with Jesus Christ.
