2 Peter 1:3-11
Imagine
you have to drive somewhere, somewhere you’ve never been. But, instead of
looking at a map, you decide to just wing it. Or, imagine you’re going to build
a house, but instead of using a blueprint, you decide to just start hammering
boards together. For myself, just the thought of drive somewhere I’ve never
been without even looking at a map is just unnerving to me. Nonetheless, if a person
did that, they might get lost or disoriented along the way, but they would
probably reach their destination, eventually. Someone can build a house without
a blueprint, but chances are things won’t go as smoothly as it would if they had
used one. And, I would say something similar is true for the Christian faith.
