In 1914, twenty-nine men set sail from England to Antarctica to become the first adventurers to cross the Antarctic Continent on foot. Five months into their voyage, the ship became entrapped in an ice pack and sank. The leader of the group, Sir Ernest Shackleton left his men, and with five others set out to cross the Antarctic sea in a lifeboat to bring back rescuers. Frank Wild, who was left in charge of the camp encouraged the men. Each day he would say, “Get your things ready boys, the Boss may come today.” Miraculously, one hundred and five days later, Shackleton returned and the crew was rescued. And did you know that our great Leader, the Lord Jesus Christ has promised one day to return to this earth to rescue us? John records Jesus’ own words , “ Let not your hearts be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me ….I go and prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself…” Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people. Are you prepared?
