When You Can’t Get Out
Every escape attempt at Colditz Castle resulted in a few weeks of solitary confinement for the perpetrator. Can you imagine how disheartening it must have been to come face to face with the enemy time and time again as they smugly captured the would-be escapers and marched them back to their cells? Can you imagine the hopelessness of captivity without any end in sight? In this sermon, we learn that When You Can’t Get Out, to let God in. You may not be a concentration camp, but it is a prison nonetheless … a dungeon of depression, a jailhouse of jealousy, a cellblock of sickness, a reformatory of rage, a detention center of discouragement, a prison of pain, and worst of all … the solitary confinement of sin. As we read our text we see what each of these great men of God were saying is: “God, I can’t get out … but I think You can get in!”
