EVER WONDER WHAT YOU WOULD DO if you heard the Emergancy Broadcast System
air on radio warning that a foreign nuclear missile was headed your way? You turn on the
television, and a special news bulletin is already advising the public to evacuate the city
and get “as far away as possible and as quickly as possibly if you still can”. In a hurry,
you gather your family, everyone gets into the car, leaving everything behind. You notice
your neighbors speeding away in their cars at speeds up to 85 mph in a 35 mph zone,
running down everyone and everything that gets in their way, and some of them ramming
past other cars in a mad rush to get ahead of one another. You didn’t take notice when
they began, but off from the direction of downtown you hear air raid sirens blareing
away. As you speed out of your driveway, one of your friends from down the street comes
speeding on his way to leave town in his SUV at 75 mph and rams your mid size car out of
his way. Your family is now injured and your car disabled, and your use to be friend
continues speeding on his way in his damaged SUV, trying to save his own family and self.
And no one else will stop to offer you any help. They just keep speeding by, and would run
you over as an obstacle in their way if you tried to waive somebody down. After a while, you
notice far off in the western sky, the appearance of something re-entering the earth’s
atmosphere. You and your family were left behind in what rocket scientists call the
“KILL-ZONE”. MOST LIKELY, THAT SCINARIO WILL NEVER HAPPEN. In the event of a
nuclear attack, your government will not panic it’s people who they cannot save anyway.
THERE WILL BE NO WARNING. Hence if you are not a spiritually born again christian, you
will not have warning that you better make that last minute repentence. The flash will hit.
You’re suddenly in Hell. You don’t know what happened. You just know it’s to late to accept
Christ as your saviour by then. Meanwhile the thurmosphere explosion is scortching away
the ground where your hometown was only seconds before. If you are a christian, your next
concious thought will be you in Heaven. The enimy who fired that missile will have done
themselves more harm than they’ll ever do to you. But if you are NOT a christian, that
enimy will do more harm to you than they’ll do to themselves. That is because as long as
they are still in this life, they still have a chance to accept God’s free gift of salvation
through the blood of Jesus…That is if their heart isn’t to hardened to do so. The nonbeliever
who dies in a nuclear strike (or of anything for that matter) has his chance of being saved
from Hell taken from him for ever. Think of what it would be like to spend eternity in Hell
with the dictator of a country who sent a nuclear strike against your people and killed you.
Here’s even a worse irony…After you died in a nuclear attack as a nonbeliever, The dictator
of the country who sent that nuclear strike, by some unlikely miracle, realizes where he
stands spiritually, his heart is not quite to hardened, and accepts Christ and becomes a
christian. On Judgement Day, you will watch that former dictator be welcomed into Heaven
while you are being bound up to be cast into the Lake of Fire. SOUNDS UNFAIR???
ACTUALLY, IT IS FAIR AND JUST. That lost soul in Hell has had every opportunity to turn
to Jesus Christ and have his or her sins forgiven as anyone else had. One’s own self
rightousness will not make it into Heaven. Someone depending on self will not make it into
Heaven either. Only the rightousness given by Jesus Christ can get you into Heaven. The
invitation is open to everybody. There is nothing unfair about it. The only thing that will make
the difference between Heaven and Hell is if you were a born again christian before you left
this life. If you go to Hell some day, you will remember every time someone spoke to you
about your spiritual condition…including your memory of this comment.
