Appointed!

Hebrews 9: 27 - 28           ESV

²⁷ And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, ²⁸ so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many…

The news out of San Bernardino, CA. isn’t any way out of the unusual these days.

The media agencies are striving to report as much information to the public as possible.

It’s certainly not new news, or good news.

I wonder how many people will have forgotten all about these events one month from right now?

The answer is most people will, I’m afraid, and so will I, most likely.

Not to be redundant, but how many of those 14 people planned to be in the morgue at the end of the day yesterday when they got up in the morning?

If the Bible is clear, and I believe it is, those 14 people have way more information today, than they had yesterday.

But those of us who survive these sorts of events, aren’t remotely phased anymore by such catastrophe.

Following death and facing every single person, is the most fair judge this world has ever known.

I wonder how much of that information affects people these days? How often have you thought, that everyone of us will stand and look straight into the eyes of Jesus?

I know, I’m asking a lot of questions, some of which I have no answers for.

This much I do know. When it’s appointed for me to die, I know which arms I’m going to fall into.

It’s amazing though how many people today, who still can’t answer that question with the fullness of assurance.

Jesus bore the sins of many and all, and that’s still the greatest news the world has ever known.

But you won’t hear that on ABC, NBC, or CBS…
