Although the Chatham Islands belong to New Zealand, you don’t hear very much about them even in NZ. The other day I saw some pictures of the Chatham Islands in a magazine. I was especially interested in the captions of the pics. Apparently pig hunting is really good there and one pic had the caption “Dave, the boar and the wonderful wilderness”. Notice the word “wonderful”. Another pic had the caption “(happily) on the road to nowhere…” Do you see the word in brackets? Yes, you do! Good!

When I looked at the pictures these thoughts came to my mind:

And I don’t think I am wrong in saying that for most people the whole world is a “wilderness”, not only the Chatham Islands. And I dare also to say that they are on “the road to nowhere…..” They don’t even think the “wilderness” is wonderful and they are surely not happy on “the road to nowhere…”

But there is a road out of the wilderness. The road out of the wilderness is the LORD JESUS CHRSIST. He says so himself in the Bible, the Word of the Living God.
