If you have ever seen someone potholing on television or in a film, you may have seen that it looks very difficult, squeezing through what appears to be a very tight entrance to get from one area of the cave to the next.
If you were not extremely motivated then you probably wouldn’t even dare attempt it.
Another illustration would be that of a victim of an earthquake, trapped in a basement, with the only means of rescue being to crawl through a very small opening that had been dug by rescuers. If the person who is trapped wants to live, they have no choice but to squeeze through the gap.
If we want to find that way that leads to eternal life then we really have to be desperate, like the person trapped by the earthquake.
God says that when we really seek out the Lord, we will find Him and we should call out on His name, while He is near. (The name Jesus means God the Saviour in the original Hebrew), Isa 55:6, 2Ch 15:2,
The Kingdom of God is a real place where the Father dwells.
How do we get to live in that realm? There is a way.
