    when the boat was finally found, it was floating upside down and there was no trace of its captain. Nobody knows how or why, but the eight-thousand-pound weight somehow broke loose, rendering the boat unstable, and one large wave was all it took.
    What a tragic irony. Millions of dollars in state-of-the-art equipment with the finest and most experienced sailor at the helm was all for nothing because of a simple problem that occurred below the surface—something all the satellites in the world couldn’t fix. In a similar way, a person’s faith can look legitimate on the outside—above the waterline—but if that very same faith is not bolted to the person and work of Jesus Christ, he will have no chance of completing the journey. Why? Because as the one and only God-man, Jesus alone is capable of taking the penalty for our sins and anchoring us to the Father through faith. Jesus Himself made this clear:
    “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6 NIV)

    In the fall of 1992, Michael Plant, a popular American yachtsman, set sail from the United States for a solo trans-Atlantic crossing to France. His vessel was a state-of-the-art sailboat called the Coyote. The Coyote was second to none in its equipment; its hull was made of the finest materials, and its sophisticated electronics included an emergency guidance and tracking system that was linked directly to a satellite. Michael Plant had everything he needed—the expertise, experience, and the equipment—for a successful voyage to France. But eleven days into the voyage, radio contact with the Coyote was lost.
