A BAD MAN IN HEAVEN! (2)
Luke 23:32-43 (42)
And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
No man is ever opportune to know when he or she dies as death is the sudden judge of man on earth; owing to the fact that “When a man dies, his fate is sealed” (Hebrews 9:27). There is a place we go after sojourning on this planet; a place made of pure gold as of crystal glass (Revelation 21:9-25). Heaven is that great city of the pure and uncorrupted (Revelation 21:27), so as Hell is for the unrepentant wrongdoers to suffer eternal damnation (Matthew 13:37-51). Where will you spend Eternity?
Sister Tracy was an epitome of righteousness, all her life she had lived to please God irrespective of earthly consequences. One day, she had a minor quarrel with Mr. Shane, who was the choirmaster which she couldn’t bear but, kept malice. Guess what? She died that night! (Luke 21:34). Hmm … Likewise, Judas, a full disciple but never ended well (Matthew 27:3-5). However, at the other end in today’s reading was this hardened criminal, who killed and stole, and for that reason was nailed along with Christ but, was still saved at the very end (Romans 9:15).
Friend! Have you been watchful all along like the five virgins (Matthew 25:1-13)? If so! Glory to God Almighty! But, take precaution lest you miss it (1 Corinthians 10:12) because, “There’s a Bad man on his way to eternity, while a so-called Christian may be in Hell!” uncle! You may have robbed and killed before. Sister, you might even have had several abortions. But, there is a Hope for you today (Colossians 1:27) as your past and background doesn’t count (Isaiah 1:18), what matters to God is your final ending (Ecclesiastes 7:8).
“Giving or rededicating your life back to Jesus will be your wisest decision ever!
