GOOD NEWS FOR YOU
The Blink of an Eye
Orange cones abruptly narrowed the northbound highway into one lane.
I felt a surge of irritation --- isn’t there any place in this town
that’s safe from road construction?
Then
I saw the fire department rescue squad and other emergency vehicles
spread all over the southbound side. And I saw two cars, crumpled
against the railing an mangled beyond recognition of make and model.
There was no way any one could have survived. I thought. And I
remembered the words of James in the Bible. “What is your life? You
are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes” (James
4:14b).
Had
they seen it coming? Or had they been driving down the road with
their thought intent on the activities of the day, when suddenly,
eternity was upon them? And I wonder how they faced it… with
assurance? Or with terror?
Should eternity come suddenly upon you as it did for at least one of
those drivers that day, how will you face it?
Will
it be without fear, knowing on the other side God is waiting to
welcome you into His Kingdom? We don’t know when that day will come.
It could be fifty years from now. Then again, it could be to-day.
You
can prepare for that moment if today you place your life in the
hands of Jesus, who gave His own life to assure that you would be
able to face eternity without fear or regrets.
