The late Adrian Rogers told the story of a young boy on a pier as a steamboat was coming up the river. As the riverboat drew near the boy begin to tell one person after the other “Look, there’s the captain! Look, there’s the captain!” Finally someone asked him, “Why are you so excited about the captain?”
The boy replied, “Once I fell in the river and the captain jumped in to save me so I just like to point him out to people.”
I was sinking deep in sin far from the peaceful shore. Very deeply stained with sin sinking to rise no more. But the Master of the sea heard my despairing cry. From the water lifted me now safe am I.
Look, there’s the Captain! Look there’s Jesus, my Savior, Redeemer, Captain of my salvation! Look, there’s the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Look, there’s my fortress, my high tower, my shield my buckler. Look, there’s the bright and morning star, the lily of the valley, the rose of Sharon. Look, there’s the creator, the Omnipotent, the Omniscient!
Look, there’s Jesus, My Captain! I just like to point him out to people.
