In November, 1975, 75 convicts started digging a secret tunnel designed to bring them up at the other side of the wall of Saltillo Prison in northern Mexico. On April 18, 1976, guided by pure genius, they tunneled up into the nearby courtroom in which many of them had been sentenced. The surprised judges returned all 75 to
jail.
I was amazed when I read that story. It so aptly explains a life of an individual who moves from one personal "prison" to another in search of real freedom. These spiritual "tunnels" that many of us take while attempting to find a better life, only bring us back to the same place that imprisoned us in the first place.
Jesus is the only answer to leaving our prisons for good!
