For as the lightning that flashes out of one part under heaven shines to the other part under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day. Luke 17:24

So follow me with this…you are in downtown Atlanta, surrounded by many many people. All the sudden your weather alarm goes off on your phone, warning you that 2 large tornados are headed straight for your area. You know just one block over is a storm shelter and you will be safe there. As you proceed to the area of safety, you contemplate in your mind….should I warn these people around me? Certainly they heard my alarm go off. Certainly they will see me head for the storm shelter and know that’s what they need to do as the clouds are getting darker. What if I tell everyone, then there is a mad rush to the shelter and I can’t get in? These questions run through your mind…but you simply keep to yourself and find just a handful of people inside.

 As the tornado passes through town, you can hear the destruction all around you, the cries for help from those caught in the storm. Its an awful thing to experience, but you are safe.  Afterwards, you go outside to see the destruction and people injured, some dead. Feelings of guilt overwhelm your soul as you think about all the room you had in the shelter and none of these people followed you because they didn’t know the tornados were coming.

As Christians, we know there will be a day when Jesus returns to rapture up His children. This time is uncertain, but for sure it will occur. Are you warning others? Do you care that those around you know what Jesus did on the cross to save you? So often we think that our example should be enough to alert others. Friend, they don’t know the truth. Your lifestyle might look good to them, but its not the lifestyle that saves…its faith and trust in Jesus Christ. Only word of mouth will relay that message and save those from their pending doom on the day of judgement.

If you have accepted Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, you are saved. The next step is for you to share this message to those around you…to save them from an eternity in Hell. There is plenty of room in Heaven, do your part to share in the good news of Jesus Christ so on “that day” you won’t feel a heavy heart of guilt for not warning others. Go share Jesus with others today! God bless!
