Tragedy Beyond the Boundary (by Pastor Mark Parsons)

Three young people needlessly and tragically perished this past Wednesday as they were swept over Vernal Falls in California’s Yosemite National Park. They plunged 317 feet to their deaths because they ignored warning signs and crossed a barricade to pose for photographs. They refused to pay attention and disregarded the apparent and imminent danger.

God also has set boundaries for man to distinguish between right and wrong, truth and lies, light and dark, death and life. In Proverbs 22:28, He admonishes us to “not move the ancient boundary which your fathers have set.” All too often, there is a disregard and disobedience to God’s word resulting in eternal death and separation from a life with God. However, there does not have to be tragedy beyond God’s boundaries, for He declares, “‘Come now, and let us reason together,’ says the LORD, ‘Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool. If you consent and obey, you will eat the best of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.’ Truly, the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” (Isaiah 1:18-20)
