Recently on Cumberland Island, Georgia, the wind and shifting sands revealed a partially buried skeleton of a ship. Someone noticed this did not look like the ordinary flotsam washed ashore, and reported to the National Park Service. Consequently, archaeologists have uncovered an 80 foot fragment of a wooden sailing ship dating from the 1850s. The shifting sands of time uncover a lot of human shipwrecks too. Lives that once were whole but for various reasons have made shipwreck. But thankfully, someone stepped into time about 2,000 years ago to intervene – Jesus, God’s Son. He is able to take the broken pieces and make a whole person. In Matthew’s gospel we read Jesus words, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” If you have made shipwreck of your life, turn to the Captain, Jesus Christ, and He will make you whole again.
