THREE ANGELS BROADCASTING NETWORK DEVOTIONAL
Life Jacket

“Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God.” Ephesians 6:14 (AMPC)
April 10, 1912, was a chilly morning as 2,240 passengers and crew boarded a historic voyage. The Titanic launched from a dock at Southampton, England, chartering its course through the icy waters of the Atlantic. It’s final destination was Pier 59 in New York City, but tragedy struck just four days later, as the cruise ship ran into an iceberg. The captain and his crew didn’t sense any apparent danger as they grazed the frozen mass, but what they didn’t know was that below the ship’s waterline, on the starboard side, the iceberg had made a 300-foot gash. Soon, panic struck the hearts of all who were aboard this vessel that was touted as “indestructible.”
How important is a life jacket? One woman, Laura Mabel Francatelli, found it to be invaluable. She made it to safety, thanks to the men and many others who sacrificed their lives to make sure women and children got onto the 16 or so life boats available.
She cherished that life jacket for the rest of her long life, and 95 years later, that jacket (which was in pristine condition) sold for $118,643 at a 2007 Christie’s auction. But there’s another life jacket that is priceless—but at the same time, free. That life jacket is the robe of Christ’s righteousness, and it is our safety in the storms ahead.
In the January 23rd entry of an Ellen G. White devotional book entitled, God’s Amazing Grace, about the importance of that breastplate, she penned the words, “Put on as your breastplate that divinely protected righteousness which it is the privilege of all to wear. This will protect your spiritual life.” Then she finishes with this powerful thought: “Each one will have a close struggle to overcome sin in his own heart. This is at times a very painful and discouraging work, because, as we see the deformities in our character, we keep looking at them, when we should look to Jesus and put on the robe of His righteousness. Everyone who enters the pearly gates of the city of God will enter there as a conqueror, and his greatest conquest will have been the conquest of self.”
Our world is sinking, just like the Titanic did, back in 1912. Many of those passengers didn’t have the opportunity to get on a lifeboat or survive by wearing a life jacket. In fact, 1,503 passengers and crew members didn’t make it out alive. Jesus is offering you His life jacket for free so you don’t have to drown with this crumbling world. Will you accept the life jacket He’s giving you? Will you let Him put that life jacket on you?
