THE MYSTERY OF THE AXE HEAD THAT FLOATED

2 Kings 6:5-6 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed. And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.
The axe head is the most important part of the axe. With it you can chop any wood down. Without the axe head, there is no use of the axe. The axe is only complete with the head. The axe head is a picture of man. Man is the crowning beauty of God’s creation; he is the apex and zenith of God’s creative work.
When God created animals, vegetation, sun, moon and stars, he said it was good. But when man was created scripture says, and God saw that it was very good. Without man God’s creation is not complete. Man did not originate from apes as science would have us believe. Man was created by God on the sixth day of creation.
However, this apex of God’s creation sinned and disobeyed God and was lost. What do we mean when we say man was lost? It simply means that man was out of sight; buried and completely separated from the embrace of God. Man was no longer towing the path of God. Man sunk deep into the deep waters of sin and evil.
