This Week:The Titanic


These are my final thoughts of the fateful voyage of the Titanic.

It is indisputable that of all the passengers and crew on the stricken vessel none made it to their destination as originally planned.

What began from Southampton on April 10, 1912, with the happiest of prospects, ended in a sudden, unscheduled  calamity four days later.

For this reason I have posted a picture of Mother Earth on today's BWI.

We are all denizens of this planet travelling at 5,000,000 miles an hour through space to an unknown destination.

The teaching of Christ tells us that the day will come when the heavens will be rolled up like a scroll and our planet and solar system will come to and end.

Hard to believe isn't it? It was also unbelievable that the Titanic could founder .... but she did.

For the fortunate 700 there was a place on a life boat; for 1500 souls there was a watery grave.

I saw a bumper sticker the other day which read:

'SALVATION. DON'T LEAVE EARTH WITHOUT IT'

When this cosmos in which we are travellers comes to it's sudden stop, make sure you are on the life boat proffered by faith in Jesus Christ.
