We are all journeying. One may be flying across the Atlantic in the Concorde, another trudging down a dreary, rain-swept street to a soup kitchen, but both are traveling to a final destination: eternity.
When the big TWA plane lifted off the ground in a normal takeoff, the passengers confidently expected a flight of a few short hours to their destination. They little thought the end would be a flaming, crashing DEATH.
Passengers on the great Titanic were enjoying the “thrill of a lifetime” on the ship’s maiden voyage. How could they worry? It was “unsinkable,” wasn’t it? Who could foresee a bitter, icy DEATH?
Even the careless motorist, secure in his own car—seat belts, air bag and all—can still trust in his own skill and quick reflexes and take one chance too many and meet DEATH at the next corner.
Travelers all, and destinations reached unexpectedly, but where? Heaven? or Hell? There are only two places, and the choice must be made in time.
It is true that we are all sinners; we have all deserved hell, and frankly—sadly—that is the only end of the unbeliever. But it is still possible, “while it is called today,” to turn away from that road and receive Christ as the Saviour of sinners. You will find your whole life changed both now and forever. This is the “good news” from God—what a glad and glorious message it is!
What could be easier than that?
