First of all, think with me about the Savior that we need. The story goes that one day the great 18th century, nonconformist preacher and hymn-writer, Augustus Toplady, was traveling along the gorge of Burrington Combe in the Mendip Hills near the village of Blagdon in England where he had been preaching when he was suddenly caught in a terrible storm. And as the wind and the rain raged around him, he looked for shelter and he found a gap in the gorge. And there, he quickly took shelter. And it was there, the legend says, in the midst of the storm, that Toplady scribbled down the first line of his great hymn, “Rock of Ages, cleft for me. Let me hide myself in Thee.” It’s a hymn, if you know it, it’s a hymn full of Gospel confidence, that in Jesus Christ alone, who is our sheltering Rock amidst the storm, we can find lasting refuge. Jesus is our King, the Rock of Ages, who was cleft for us so that we may cry to Him for refuge, “Let me hide myself in Thee!” Jesus is our safe, secure hiding place.
