How Far Away is Christmas Island? Rev. David Barrett

For some refugees, it is 200 miles from the island of Java to Christmas Island, an island of refuge of Australia for those being persecuted for religious reasons. Thousands of people are risking their lives for this freedom. So 200 miles stands between them and their freedom, but some of us have shorter distances between where we are now and our sense our freedom lies. Some have a distance keeping them from their 'freedom', some have time keeping them from 'freedom', some have people keeping them from their 'freedom'. But we know something greater, we know the distance to freedom and it is a lot shorter distance than you think. We'll find what that 'distance' is on Sunday.
