Humans have the best of every world.
We can go underwater, and swim in water.
We can climb mountains, and live in the Arctic.
We can fly slwoly, or streak about in jest.
We can even go into space .... but animals are always confined
to a narrow range of habitat, and usually die if they venture out.
Take for example, the termite queen, who spends her life laying
eggs, or the anemone, which holds on to the same bit of rock all
its life, till it dies ... or the pupfish.
In the middle of Nevada is a hole about 18m deep. It used to be
a cave but the roof collapsed.
At the bottom of the hole is a small pool.
Here is where the pupfish lives - feeding on a tiny supply of green
algea and tiny creatures that live under a lip of rock.
Without that pool, and that small lip of rock, and that tiny strip of
green algea, the pupfish would be extinct.
It lives in such a small place, goes nowhere, lives day to day ... it
sounds very much like a person who has not yet discovered Jesus.
Life without Jesus is like a pupfish down a dark little hole.
