| Fleeing for Safety |
| It is September 15, 2017, and my wife and I are in London, England, where there has been a terrorist attack in the London Underground. A rather crude bomb was left to go off in one of the subway cars, and, thankfully, when it did explode the train was at a station and the doors were open. As a result, people were able to flee for their lives. I saw video footage of pandemonium as morning commuters young and old scrambled for safety. Many were injured, but, miraculously, no one was killed. |
| It made me think of the gospel and the Lord’s words of warning, “Flee from the wrath to come” (Matthew 3:7). Nobody had to tell those Londoners to flee the train and the station; they realized the danger and they acted accordingly. |
| But why is it, when people are warned about pending and eternal judgment that many don’t seem to care and are indifferent to their immortal soul’s welfare? I suppose it is because they really don’t believe it will happen. They would rather continue on in their sins. But there is a time coming when, “In those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them” (Revelation 9:6). How vital to flee to Christ for salvation now while His offer of mercy is still available. |
