Outdoor Truths: Aiming Outdoorsmen Toward Christ April 26th
Gary Miller ~ outdoortruths.org
The truth was evident. Even though I knew where that gobbler was, and even though he seemed within reach, the only way that I was going to meet that turkey was if he came to me. I could not come to him. My circumstances, my situation, my ability and all my efforts, were not good enough to get me to where he was. This is a wonderful picture of God’s love and his plan for us to get to heaven. You see, because of our sin, we are unable to reach God. Our circumstances, our ability and all of our efforts cannot bring God to us. There is a deep chasm between He and us that cannot be spanned by man. But God made a way. Because we could not come to Him, He came to us. And he did it through the person of Jesus Christ. By sending Jesus, he overcame all the obstacles that were between us and God. He put heaven within reach. He bridged the great divide and presented Himself high on the cross for all to see and for all to know where He can be found. Now, the path to that tree is clear, and open, and accessible. And it’s only one step away from where you are right now.
