I am the resurrection and the life.
—John 11:25
We don’t get drowsy reading tales of nail-biting escapes from a burning building, a sinking ship, a sleazebag human trafficker, a toxic relationship, a life-threatening accident.
The Bible is full of escape stories.
Lot’s escape from Sodom.
Isaac’s escape from the knife.
Israel’s escape from Egypt.
Elijah’s escape from Jezebel.
David’s escape from Saul.
Jeremiah’s escape from the cistern.
Jonah’s escape from the sea.
Shadrach’s, Meshach’s, and Abednego’s escape from the furnace.
Daniel’s escape from the lions’ den.
Peter’s escape from jail.
Paul’s escape from shipwreck.
And then there’s your story . . .
Your escape from earthly death by resurrection.
Your escape from eternal death by redemption.
You have a First Class ticket
to the great escape.
