The Race Car Driver<\/div><\/div>\nChino Mendez was the most famous race car driver in all of Bolivia-in fact, for many years he was probably better known than the president of the country. He won every race in Bolivia. They didn\u2019t race on special racetracks, but they would block off the roads in the country and have their races right on the roads.
\nWe often heard the race cars speed by in the town of Montero since the main street was only a block away from our home. The narrow and crooked street, full of potholes, did not slow down Chino Mendez at all. He could drive down that street at 200 kilometers per hour (124 mph). Everyone cheered him as he won his races and we never met a single school boy that didn\u2019t know his name.
\nMr. Mendez had carefully practiced a certain corner of the road in the mountainous city of Cochabamba. This was to be his next race. He knew just how fast he could take that corner and was well prepared to win another race. When Chino Mendez arrived at that corner in the race, the car before him had scattered gravel on the road. He turned the corner at 180 kilometers per hour (112 mph) and spun out of control and crashed. He never regained consciousness.
\nHis coffin was carried on the shoulders of the citizens of Bolivia all the way from the central plaza to the cemetery. Mr. Mendez had worked for fame and the cheering of the crowd. At the end of his life the very best the country could give to its most famous citizen was a coffin and a place to rest it.
\nWhat will be there at the end of your life? Are you working only for money or fame or pleasure? Those who leave God out of their life can expect no more from this world than Chino Mendez received. But God has prepared much more for those who are His children. He has prepared a home in heaven where there is a street of gold for all those who are cleansed from their sins. The Lord Jesus suffered and died on the cross for our sins. \u201cWho His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed\u201d (1 Peter 2:24).
\nWe who are saved from our sins aren\u2019t waiting for a coffin. We\u2019re waiting for the Lord Jesus to come to take us to heaven and to the magnificent future that is waiting for us. \u201cGod, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us…hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace, in His kindness toward us, through Christ Jesus\u201d (Ephesians 2:4,6-7).
\nFame and riches were unimportant when Mr. Mendez left this world to stand before God. \u201cThat every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God\u201d (Romans 3:19). Will you admit your guilt before God and turn to Christ for salvation? His loving heart waits to give you a wonderful future in His own home in heaven. \u201cThe wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord\u201d (Romans 6:23).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
