"They" said it would never happen. The Titanic was supposed to be unsinkable. Yet, Sunday, April 15, 2012, marked the 100th anniversary of the Titanic disaster. The huge ship struck an iceberg on it’s maiden voyage and quickly sank. The sinking of the Titanic has a number of close parallels to the Biblical plan of salvation. Here is one parallel.

There was a huge loss of life because there were not enough life boats for the number of people on board. There was only room enough for relatively few to be saved. When it comes to God’s plan of redemption there is only one lifeboat. The lifeboat is Jesus Christ. God’s lifeboat, unlike the small boats on the Titanic, has ample room for all who confess their guilt and put their trust in Jesus. Those who refuse God’s one lifeboat will lose the new life that Jesus gave. Peter told the Sanhedrin, "There is salvation in no one else. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men whereby we
must be saved" (Acts 4:12).

As we travel life’s journey we need to cling to God’s mercy in Christ. In Jesus we find security and purpose.
