This is a story of how laying down palm branches can save your life.

As a landlubber who gets sea sick on a calm day, I am at once awed and dubious about three experienced mariners setting off in a skiff on the sea, storm forecast or no.

The bones of the story are evocative—

Sailors

Storm

Disabled boat

Rescue sign in the sand

Searchers

Help comes

Officially rescued.

I am so grateful these unnamed men are rescued and I can see the parable as well—

We have to know we are lost

Put out the “HELP” sign

Then search the sky for our Rescuer.

Thank you, Jesus, for rescuing me.

John 10
