Just got through talking to a friend about the miners in Chile and the rescue efforts to free them from their bondage hundreds of feet below the surface of the earth. Thirty-Three men awaited rescue after spending 69 days below ground deprived of life's luxuries and the ability to hug and hold their loved ones. As the rescue effort began someone had to descend from above and travel to their temporary home to prepare them to ascend to the surface. Sound Familiar!! Someone had to descend before they could ascend.Jesus is our rescuer as He chose to descend from His heavenly home to earth... to rescue us from our bondage of sin so we could eventually ascend to heaven and have the gift of eternal life. A life without darkness and fear, a life filled with joy and blessing. A life with our Rescuer... Jesus.
