Salvation: Too Wide
In the mountains of the West, it is related, there is a place
called "The Death Leap." It is far up in the mountains where two rocks
protrude. The distance between them is about thirty feet. The deer had
been chased by the hounds and came to this "death leap." There was no
way around. It is said the deer came to this fearful pass and stopped
and listened to the oncoming dogs. Then it backed up some distance and
came bounding for the leap. But, as it came near and saw the yawning
precipice, its courage failed. Again it listened to the oncoming
hounds, which were much nearer. It was cross or die. The second time
it backed up even farther than before, and with a mighty bound it
sought to reach the other side; but the distance was too great. The
deer fell and was crushed on the rocks more than two hundred feet
below.
We may love the world and reject Christ. But one day, when the end
comes and we look across the mighty, yawning chasm, we will need
Christ. He said, "I am the way." He is the Way across. We will need
Him and want Him then.
William Moses Tidwell, "Pointed Illustrations."
