Mistakes

A couple of days ago there was a tragic accident not far from where I live. Six young people crashed coming around a corner, one young woman was killed. She was only twenty years old. The driver was the oldest and he was only twenty-five years old. The youngest kids were just sixteen. They were kids, the driver was drunk, he made a stupid decision. Two of the kids made a stupid decision when they chose to ride in the back of the truck but that's just what it was, a stupid decision, a mistake.

Most of us assume that we'll have time to learn from our mistakes. We assume that life won't end while we're driving home, that we won't suddenly find ourselves standing before the Lord's judgment seat. I don't imagine that young woman, so young, was expecting to die on her way home that day and I don't imagine that anyone else in that car ever imagined that one stupid mistake would ever lead to such a tragedy,

But the thing is that life can end that quickly. You can be hit by lightening while you're out on a walk, an icy road can send your car into a tree, a heart attack could take you to eternity before you even know what's happening.

Please understand my friends, I'm not trying to be morbid but I want you to be prepared. Are you ready for what happens after death? Are you ready to meet your maker? In John 14:6 Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me." Have you met Jesus, have you confessed your sins and accepted Him as your Savior? Are you ready if your car crashes tomorrow? If you're not you need to be.

If you need someone to talk to about more then this please feel free to leave me your email address in a comment below and I'll be sure to contact you more about salvation.
