Story : Cut The Rope And Trust In GOD
By Georgy ------ 15531 views

They tell the story of a mountain climber, who desperate to conquer the Aconcagua, initiated his climb after years of preparation. But he wanted the glory to himself, therefore, he went up alone. He started climbing and it was becoming later, and later. He did not prepare for camping but decided to keep on going. Soon it got dark…
Night fell with heaviness at a very high altitude. Visibility was zero. Everything was black. There was no moon, and the stars were covered by clouds. As he was climbing a ridge at about 100 meters from the top, he slipped and fell. Falling rapidly he could only see blotches of darkness that passed. He felt a terrible sensation of being sucked in by gravity.
He kept falling….and in those anguishing moments good and bad memories passed through his mind. He thought certainly he would die. But then he felt a jolt that almost tore him in half. Yes!! Like any good mountain climber he had staked himself with a long rope tied to his waist.
In those moments of stillness, suspended in the air he had no other choice but to shout, “HELP ME GOD”, “HELP ME!”
All of a sudden he heard a deep voice from heaven.. “What do you want me to do?”
“SAVE ME”
“Do you REALLY think that I can save you?”
“OF COURSE, MY GOD”
“Then cut the rope that is holding you up.”

There was another moment of silence and stillness. The man just held tighter to the rope.
Next day the rescue team found a frozen mountain climber hanging strongly to a rope…
TWO FEET OFF THE GROUND!!!
——————————————————————————-
How about you? How much are you trusting in that rope? Why don’t you let it go?
I tell you, God has great and marvelous things for you.
CUT THE ROPE AND SIMPLY TRUST IN HIM…
 
This man in the story cried out to God out of fear, but refused to trust the help that was before him that could have saved his life. Many refuse to hear the good news of the Gospel, thus sealing their own fate when the time of judgment comes on the last day. This reminds me of the parable of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31 as it was to late after the rich man died as he was n torment, but Lazarus found his peace in Christ. One was raised from the dead and now sits at the right hand of God, but yet many have no faith in Him.
