The train of salvation
The train set off to begin its journey millennia ago, since the beginning of time.
The train with infinite coaches always departing and yet it never really leaves.
The train meant to carry everyone awaits for you to climb aboard.
The train is in motion yet still stationary to allow anyone who wants to board to jump in.
Once aboard, your coach leaves; you're called to pay attention to the journey and the destination.
If attention is not paid, you begin running through the coaches back to the boarding station.
Be careful not to lose focus. Be cautious that you don't end up running back to the station.
For if you do it long enough, then I'm afraid you'll at one point have to alight and getting back on is not as easy as you did before.
Let's say you didn't lose your focus, let's say you continued to pay attention.
The journey is beautiful. The scenery is breathtaking and the destination gleaming with a glorious light.
You have to remember that the train has its owner. It also has a driver and he knows you for you are His passenger.
Don't try to drive the train. You might speed and derail, you might not know the controls, you might not know how to get to the destination.
Instead, take your seat and allow the driver to take you on that journey.
He has set everything just right for you in your coach so that your journey may be as adventurous and exhilarating as possible.
...
Back at the station, it's almost midnight. It's the eleventh hour.
The train leaves completely and no one can board past midnight.
The thing is that no one knows when the clock will strike midnight; only the owner of the train and station knows the time.
Chuu chuu! Chuu chuu!
The blazing loud whistles honk. Everyone can hear it. Everyone knows the sound.
The whistle sounds again and again and again. It does not stop.
Those who embrace it know that time is almost up and it's almost midnight so they all run to board the train.
To those who the sound is like a needle piercing through their ears hurry up to find ear muffs to put on.
And the train driver says,"Let those who have ears listen!"
Now is the time to get aboard.
Once the time clocks midnight, the trains leave the station.
The train station is removed too for the train has already left.
There is only one train and the whistles are always on the hoot.
Come now and get on board. It's almost midnight. Come running. The doors are always open.
Come.
