Death Has Come

The man facing death has died. There is no mercy left. He has chosen his eternity and there is no turning back. It is his time to face God his Creator. As a child, his loving mother taught him of the saving power of Christ but as a man he chose another path, far away from the love and mercy that Christ would show him. He chose to stand on his own with no mediator to plead his cause, no prayer of intercession offered when he fell into sin, no blood to wash him clean, only standing there in sin with no time of repentance. He was not a bad man. He tried to do good things. he had a family whom he loved. He had children he raised, grandchildren he loved. He worked a job, he had a ranch, he had horses, he enjoyed his life. What remains is judgement before God. The evidence of The Lord is near, it is plain that all we see was created by someone other than a human man. A much higher intelligence than we could ever understand, many mysteries yet revealed to us or even if we knew we could not comprehend! Satan has blinded man! Man is indeed willing! Today is the day of salvation! Open your heart to hear the word of The Lord.
Father, there are those searching for You. There are those who are indifferent. Help us to plant the seed so You can harvest souls for Your glory. Amen

Luke 16:19-31

19 "There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day.
20 And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,
21 who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man's table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
22 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried,
23 and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side.
24 And he called out, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.'
25 But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish.
26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.'
27 And he said, 'Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house-
28 for I have five brothers-so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.'
29 But Abraham said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.'
30 And he said, 'No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.'
31 He said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.'"
