Come with me on a journey through time to the not-so-distant future – to our judgment day. Our friend, Jesus Christ, whose commands we have been obeying all our lives, warned us that this day would come unexpectedly (Mt.24:36) and sooner than later (Lk.12:20). Because we trust the Words of our Lord and Savior, intellectually we know this is true – THE JUDGMENT DAY IS
IMMINENT.

Now, imagine that today is that Day. As we move towards the great Throne, we notice forlorn souls we love deeply being led away to an eternity of pain and misery. Some of these may be our parents, siblings, children, best friends, and fellow worshippers. Our hearts break because there is nothing we can do. But every one of us knows that we did not do enough when we still had the time. And with crushed and broken spirits we remember Jesus Christ saying, “we must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work” (Jn.9:4).

Friends let us reason together. Since we know THE JUDGEMENT DAY IS IMMINENT and we know we are surrounded by many heading to hell, why not, while we still have time, don’t we reach out now and save those we love so much “by snatching them out of the fire” (Jude 1:23)?
