Dot dot dot dash dash dash dot dot dot. ...---...
Does this have any meaning to you? Well, if you are over 50 years old it is full of meaning and just hearing this strange "code" conjurs visions of storm tossed ships on the high seas in danger of sinking. Morse telegraph code for the letters
"S", "O", "S" which mean "Save our ship".
Today with G4, Smart phones, satellite communication and the "world wide webb" there is a generation of young people who don't know what "telegraph" or "Morse code" are. If you ask them what dot dot dot dash dash dash dot dot dot means they may tell you they think it is something from Harry Potter.
There was a time when everyone knew the meaning of SOS. We were taught that someday, if we were in danger, this could save our lives.
There is another "life saving message" that is being forgotten in America and Europe. It is the message from our Creator who says, "Your sins have separated you from Me. My Infinite Justice and Holiness demands a penalty which you cannot pay so I came to earth and took the penalty upon myself in the Person of Jesus Christ. If you will receive Him as your Savior and Lord then you will be saved from the guilt and penalty of your sin because the penalty has been paid in full."
That the Son of God, Jesus, could take upon himself the penalty for your sins and mine is not an archaic message. It is the only pathway to eternal life.
Believe it, receive it. It will save your life.
