Imagine yourself drowning in the deep waters of the ocean. You are hopeless, helpless, and alone. TIme’s running out, and your life’s on the line. But out on the horizon you see a sailboat. And it’s coming straight for you. As the sailboat approaches, you see your Rescuer. With an outstretched arm, Jesus pulls you up out of the water, brings you onboard into his love, and gives you new life. You are now a Freed Sailor. You are freed because Jesus rescued you from your sin and death, and you are a sailor because you now freely labor for your Captain, Jesus.
