Gizmodo.com tells about one of the world’s most amazing monster machines. It’s the LTM 11200, the strongest and tallest mobile telescopic crane in the world. It can lift the weight of 12 Blue Whales at one time, and extend as high as 328 feet. Add a lattice jib, and it doubles its reach to over 50 stories high.
To keep itself firmly on the ground, the LTM 11200 has a hefty 445,000 pounds of counterweight. It also has 9 steerable axles with 18 total wheels for maneuverability.
Whatever we need to lift to the highest possible location, the LTM 11200 is the machine for the job.
Faith in Christ can lift us higher.
Colossians 2:12 tells us:
“[You have] been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead.”
Let’s think of it as the Salvation 11200, the strongest and tallest spiritual telescopic crane in the world. It can lift us to amazing heights of faith. It has the Word of God as its counterweight, and its steerable axles allow it to reach all the nations of the earth.
Romans 6:4 tells us:
“We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.”
When Jesus was raised from the dead, he spent 40 days on the earth preparing the Salvation 11200 for operation, and then the mightiest crane in all of creation lifted him all the way to heaven.
Hey, Gizmodo.com. Here’s a monster machine to write about. Jesus’ crane of redemption, built of the cross and the lives of the saints, surpasses 50 stories, reaching all the way into heaven. It’s called the Salvation 11200, and it takes us all the way to the throne room of our Almighty God.
When we give our hearts to Jesus, the sky’s the limit as we’re lifted up in him.
