Sir John Franklin was an explorer and an officer in the British Royal Navy in the first half of the 1800s. In 1845, he left England on his third and final expedition. His mission was to finally make it through the Northwest Passage. This was thought to be a possible shipping route connecting the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean by going around the Canadian Artic. This expedition turned out to be an unmitigated failure. We have been studying the book of Ezra, and an important part of the story is the journey the people have taken as they have left Babylon to return to Jerusalem. Zerubbabel led the first wave of about 50,000 exiles on the journey back. Now, another generation is being led by Ezra. This group is about 5,000. One of the things we have done along the way is to try to learn lessons from the book of Ezra about our journey from sin and the things of this world, represented by Babylon, to the kingdom of God and our focus on the things of God, represented by Jerusalem. Just like those sailors on that expedition knew they would face difficulties and hardships, and just like the exiles returning with Ezra knew they would face difficulties and hardships, we know we will face difficulties and hardships. Not all of the Christian life is like that, of course. But we live in a world that is broken and fallen and that the Bible describes as being under the power of the evil one. That expedition failed because they were not prepared. We will fail in the mission God has called us to if we are not prepared.
