THE TITANIC IS SINKING, WILL YOU BE ABLE TO SAY “HOW YOU MADE IT OVER?”

April 15, 1912 the Titanic Departs from Belfast headed to America with 2,233 souls on board, disaster strikes, 1,530 were lost 713 survived. You had THE FIRST CLASS who consisted of the rich and aristocracy of society. In SECOND CLASS you have those who had achieved success and money through work, people in trades such a miners, teachers and clerks.

In THIRD CLASS you have poor families emigrating to the United States. In addition, you had 900 crew members. So the ranged of passengers went from the richest to the poorest with a wide array of reasons why each took this particular voyage. In addition, the ship was designed so that the various social and economic classes never had to meet nor mix while on board.

My friends Let’s make it personnel and look at our own salvation because at the end of the day there were only those who were lost and those who were saved with no economic distinction between them, with only those who were saved able to look back and tell the story of “”HOW THEY MADE IT OVER.”

“A train of cars was shown me, going with the speed of lightning. The angel bade me too look carefully. I fixed my eyes upon a train. It seemed the whole world was on board. Then he showed me the conductor, a fair, stately person, whom all the passengers looked up to and reverenced. I was perplexed and asked my attending angel who it was. He said, “It is Satan. The conductor, He has taken the world captive and they are all going with lightning speed to perdition.”

I asked the angel if there were none left. He bade me [to] look in the opposite direction, and I saw a little company traveling a narrow pathway. All seemed to be firmly united by the truth [and the  love of our Savior Jesus Christ]. This little company looked careworn, as if they had passed through severe trials and conflicts. (E.G. White Early Writings) but they had endured and there reward was life eternal.

Friends, If our desire is to finish this JOURNEY Christ has placed us on, then we must have the character of Christ and allow Him through His Word and Spirit to take full control of our life. Because one day soon God will say it is finish He will also say “He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.” “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.” Rev. 22:11-12 (KJV)

Consistent with this, “All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.” Matt 25:32 (NIV)  the story of each of our lives is still being played out, but the God we serve is unlimited, unmeasurable, and infinitely, in extent of space, duration of time in regards to what He is capable of doing for each of us if we are willing to give it all to Him for in His Mercy and love He still extends His grace.

My friends the hourglass still continues but soon our fate will be  sealed and like the passengers on the Titanic it does not matter if you are man, woman, young ,old, rich, poor, educated or just have a third grade education, straight or gay, CEO of a fortune 500 company or flip hamburgers at McDonalds, in Gods sight all sin is an abomination to Him from the person who buys Bootleg tapes,  to Adolf Hitler who killed millions of Jews,  to the slave owner Who treated their black property worst then an animal, to the dregs of society who steal and sell children on the open market, to the employee who just steals stationary from the office.

My friends sin is not categorized in God’s site but this one thing you can be assured of “the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?” 1 Cor. 6:9 (ASV) MY FRIENDS FOCUS, THE TITANIC IS SINKING, WILL YOU BE ABLE TO SAY ONE DAY, “HOW YOU MADE IT OVER” TO THE PROMISE LAND

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
