Hebrews 2:1-4
Open your bibles to Hebrews 2. When you hear the word ‘‘drift,’’ what comes to your mind?
- If you grew up in an area of the country with cold winters, you may think about snowdrifts.
- If you’re into NASCAR, you might think about racecars intentionally skidding to navigate a tight turn, that’s called drifting.

One of my favorite actors is Tom Hanks. He is incredible. Did you see his movie ‘Cast Away’? He plays a FedEx employee named Chuck who is stranded on a deserted island.

When everything settles down, Chuck realizes Wilson is gone and sees him bobbing in the waves in the distance. The current keeps taking Wilson farther and farther away, and soon Chuck realizes his volleyball friend cannot be rescued. If you’ve seen the movie, you know it’s an intense moment when Chuck is constantly screaming ‘‘Wilson! Wilson! I’m sorry, Wilson.’’ And he breaks down weeping. Tom Hanks is a pret ...
