In just the past few weeks, lives have been changed forever.....
Several people that I went to school with have passed away. These are people MY AGE. And folks, at 37, I'm no where near old enough to be concerned about dying yet.
A few different families have been irrevocably altered with tragedy, death, and bad news while on vacation.
A whole community has been turned upside down due to a years old grudge.
A family sits around waiting for a saint to breath his last.
And these are all people I know! We won't even talk about all the death, destruction, & what not going on in the world.
Again, I have been reminded of just how precious and fragile life is.
Death is inevitable.
No matter what your name is, how much money you have, who you know, where you live, or what your beliefs are, there is no escaping it. At some point everyone...EVERYONE must face death. And unlike life, where we often share experiences with others, we must face death all by ourselves. Sure you may be surrounded by those you love, but when it comes time, we all must cross over alone.
When we finally see our Lord face to face, we are the only ones accountable for our decisions. It won't matter who our friends were, where we worked, or why we made the choices we did. The most important thing once we die is if we were saved, if we accepted Jesus.
Knowing this & knowing just how short & uncertain life is, why not get this settled NOW before its too late!
Once you take that last breath, once you see His face, once you stand before the gates, its too late!
