Sitting…In a car…At a light…
Looking…To the left…To the right…To the front…To the rear…
Cars…Some with one person…Some with more than one person…
All going somewhere…
Maybe to the bank. Maybe to the doctor. A funeral. A wedding. The store. School. To see mom. To see a brother…or a sister. Maybe, like me, they are going to work. So many people. So many destinations. Is there really though? I mean, that many…destinations?
“Go in through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many there are who go in through it. Because narrow is the gate and constricted is the way which leads to life, and there are few that find it.” Jesus.
This seems more like it. In the grand picture, ultimately there are only two destinations. One, leading to death. One, leading to life. One, wide and broad. The other, narrow and constricted. As I look at the world population clock at this very moment (8:28pm PST), there are approximately 6,782,722,116 people on the planet earth. Six billion, seven hundred eighty-two million, seven hundred twenty-two thousand, one hundred sixteen people. That number changes by the second. I cannot wrap my head around that number.
I know some people do not believe the way that I do. They believe that there is another life here on earth after death. That they are going to come back as some animal, or maybe be born again in order to pay for their sins in this life in the next. Some people believe that when you die, that’s it. The book is closed and you cease to exist. There are a myriad of other beliefs out there. Some that are the exact opposite of my own beliefs and some that are so close to my beliefs that many people are deceived into thinking they are Christians when in reality they are taught to worship a Jesus that is different than the Jesus of Scripture. Well, I’m not here to argue about theology or world religions. I’m a follower of Jesus Christ, so therefore, I’m writing from a Christian perspective. The thing is, tonight as I write this, 6 billion plus people are living some kind of life. Some are living the way Christ has commanded, and some are not. Those who have surrendered and are bondservants to Christ Jesus will have everlasting life with Him. Those who fail to do so will have everlasting life apart from Him.
What’s my point? My point is, share Christ. Every second of every day, people are dying and there spirit is either being carried away into the arms of Jesus by heavenly angels, or, they are being dragged down into hell by demonic angels. It makes my heart grieve. Share Christ. Does it really matter what somebody is going to think of you? I think not. Share Christ. Tell them the things the Lord has done for you. How His suffering and His death has redeemed you from the pit. Be bold. Be loving. In all things boast only in the cross of Christ. Be these things, but in no way, should you be compromising. Speak the Word of God and do not falter. Stand firm in His strength and do not cave in to worldviews. Remember that the world is of the devil. Do not be concerned with political correctness. Do not fear of retaliation or harassment. Believe on the Lord and He will protect and provide. Obey the laws of man, but only as they line up with God’s Word. People are dying every day. This is not the time for fear. Share the gospel. Share your Jesus. In love do all things. Remember this…
