In America there’s a great divide—It’s a ridge running up and down the Rocky Mountains and it’s called the Continental Divide. A raindrop that falls on this ridge has to go one way or the other. A raindrop may fall on this ridge and if it trickles to the west it ends up in the Pacific Ocean. The next drop may fall on that very same place and trickle off to the east. It will end up in the Atlantic Ocean. Two very different destinations.
Consecutive drops of water may originally fall on same ridge, but eventually thousands of miles might separate them. That’s what the cross does to the whole human race. 1 Corinthians 1:18 speaks of two kinds of persons: Divided into two camps heading to two very different destinations—there are “those who are perishing”, and there are “those who are being saved.”
Everything that we have—right thinking and right living, a clean slate and a fresh start—comes from God by way of Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 1:30) And it affects who we are, how we live, and how we interact with one another. Join us this week at Sedona United Methodist Church as the Rev. Fred Mast continues a Sermon Series “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” with a message entitled “Healing Rain”.
