“Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2).
Most of you who are young people will probably not remember this date, unless someone has told you about it. Today is the 24th anniversary of the attack on the world trade towers in New York city in the U.S.A. by some Muslim extremists. Two planes were hijacked and then flown directly into the two world trade towers in New York city, causing them to catch on fire. The towers eventually collapsed, and the death toll was almost 3,000 people. It was undoubtedly the most significant and memorable terrorist attack in the modern world.
As you may imagine, those who went to work in those two towers that day never suspected that something like that would happen. Then suddenly those planes hit the towers, and by the end of the day, thousands of people had died. We can be thankful for all those who knew the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior, and who instantly went to be with Christ. But in most cases, those who did not know the Lord Jesus had no time to think about where they were going: they were taken away in death very suddenly.
How important it is to settle the matter of our souls’ salvation now, while there is time!
