He had a very expensive bike and kept it in perfect condition. \u201cI have two chains,\u201d he told me. \u201cI leave one in oil while I use the other one. That way the next chain is already oiled when I need it.<br \/>\nThis man rode his bicycle to work every day and had a special jacket with warm cloth on the front and a light mesh on the back. This kept him warm when he was going down a hill and the light mesh on the back made sure that he didn\u2019t get too hot going up a hill. He had a catalog of bike parts which he often looked at and always ordered the most expensive ones.<br \/>\nOne day I went by his desk and saw that he wasn\u2019t looking at his catalog but at a Bible calendar. \u201cThose verses on the calendar are from the Bible,\u201d I told him.<br \/>\n\u201cIt doesn\u2019t make any difference to me where it comes from,\u201d he said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t interest me at all.\u201d<br \/>\nSadly, he wouldn\u2019t let me say any more to him about the Bible. Not long after this he went on a holiday in Europe. He had told me how much nicer it was to bike than to go by car or train because he got to really see the countryside. I am sorry to tell you that I never saw that man again. While he was biking through Europe, he died of a heart attack and never finished his holiday.<br \/>\nHe had prepared his bicycle with great care for his holiday, but as far as I know, he made no preparations to meet God.<br \/>\nAre you like this man? Perhaps it is not bikes that interest you, but are you spending all your time thinking about and planning for the things in this world that you enjoy? Have you considered that you also must some day leave it all behind and go to meet God? The Bible says, \u201cPrepare to meet thy God\u201d (Amos 4:12). The only way to be ready to meet God is to have your sins washed away in the blood of the Lord Jesus. \u201cThe blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin\u201d (1 John 1:7).<br \/>\nGod\u2019s Word tells us that one man said, \u201cI will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.\u201d God said to him, \u201cThou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?\u201d (Luke 12:19-20).<br \/>\n\u201cBe ye therefore ready also: for the Son of Man [the Lord Jesus] cometh at an hour when ye think not\u201d (Luke 12:40).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Imprint My Tract?
