Dropped by Plane


In certain states in the U.S., men and women drop into forest fires and remove the fuel for which flames are looking. Without fuel, the fire will die, so these _smoke jumpers_ are dropped by plane into a stricken area to cut away or burn away brush. Just over 2000 years ago, God came down from Heaven to stop a raging fire. It was the fire of wrath. The fuel that feeds the consuming fire of His holy indignation is sin. Thank God for Calvary. When Jesus cried, _It is finished,_ that raging fire of eternal wrath was put out for all those who repent and trust in His blood. Our salvation was at great cost, but those who neglect so great a salvation will not escape. They will pay for it with their very souls. We must warn them to make peace with God today. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
