Abandoned Ship
This passage of Scripture is regarded as the most difficult passage in Hebrews and many will say it is the most difficult in all of the N.T.
There are several possible interpretations.
One says that this is dealing with believers who in return may loose their salvation.
Another, is that it is dealing with false converts who believe they are saved but have not experienced true salvation.
However, I tend to believe the third view which is that it this passage is dealing with individuals who came close to Jesus but then turned away.
Hebrews is written to Jews who where familiar with the O.T. law and miracles.
They tasted the heavenly gift probably is a reference to the mana and quail in the wilderness.
Some tasted the heavenly gift but did not trust in God.
This is the person who has almost made it but turned away.
They beheld the ship, even toured its beauty, but then left.
They saw but never experienced.
Thalassophobia is an irrational fear of deep, dark bodies of water and what may lurk beneath the vast surface.
This fear can cause someone to become scared of sea travel and being far away from land.
It ay be that some people come close to God but the fear of placing all of their fear in Him and going to places of unknown may be to much.
Beached Ship
The believer who was unable to sustain serving God.
Thus, they can bare no fruit, the have not abandoned the ship but are no longer making progress.
They are stuck.
This is the believer who is not growing.
The Golden Ray.
the freighter Golden Ray headed out of the Port of Brunswick on what has long been a routinely commonplace maneuver in these local waters.
Then something went wrong.
Sometime after 1:30 a.m., while making a final starboard turn in the sound before heading out to sea, the massive ship listed heavily to starboard.
Then the Golden Ray listed heavy to port — and kept rolling, capsizing in the sound directly between the resort islands of Jekyll and St. Simons.
With nearly 400,000 gallons of oil in its fuel tanks, 4,200 vehicles in its cargo hull, and 24 crewmen onboard, all 656 feet of the ship pitched calamitously onto its port side.
The inbound car carrier Emerald Ace scooted past the havoc and continued to the Port of Brunswick, just as the half submerged Golden Ray’s port side hull found uneasy an purchase on the sound’s sandy bed.
(The Emerald Ace’s passing had no connection with the wreck of the Golden Ray, officials told The News.)
The Golden Ray came to a shaky rest just south of the shipping channel, on the Jekyll Island side of the sound.
This is the believer who is not growing
Drifting Ship
Sluggish represents the believer that does not have the strength to fight the waves or a raging ocean.
The Christian who is not anchored and easily moved by storms.
Anchored Ship
This is the believer who has is anchored in Jesus.
This person can withstand storms because they have an unmoveable hold.
