Note that many people in our culture seek out ultimate adventure because they want to be thrilled. Share the following: A tour company that specializes in tours for motorcyclists advertises that if you ride with them through the Himalayas your life will be changed or, at the very least, the way you see life will change. They propose that a visit to the Himalayas is something that will amaze you beyond explanation. They hint at the immensity and might of the Himalayas’ sapphire rivers and promise that you will be awe-inspired by the mountains’ “snow clad peaks.” The tour company ascribes life-giving power to the Himalayas and promises motorcyclists that each new morning they will feel “more alive” than ever. “This place” they say, “is so heavily charged with the earth’s power” that bikers simply cannot be here and remain the same. If wonder, exhilaration, and excitement are what you are looking for, the tour company promises that their Himalayan ultimate bikers’ adventure will satisfy your desire.
Offer the opportunity for several volunteers to share experiences in which they had similar reactions when visiting scenic places around the world. Then, share that in today’s lesson learners will be confronted with the ultimate awe-inspiring Creator of the Himalayas and the rest of the universe, and will have an opportunity to wonder at and be exhilarated by this One whose ultimate power will truly change them forever.
