A few posts ago, we told you about Natalie's little sister who was among the missing after the collapse of The Promise School in Petion-Ville. Sadly, last week her body was finally recovered from under the rubble. Her funeral was held this last Friday morning, November 14th. Please continue to pray for Natalie. She also has another sister and a brother who were injured in the collapse and who still remain hospitalized.
The question we all must ask as we face this tragedy is, "Are we ourselves prepared for death?" Hebrews 9:27 says, "It is appointed unto men once to die and after this the judgment." Only those who have accepted Jesus as Savior by faith can face death without fear.
Accepting Jesus is so simple. As I heard it put once, it is as simple as ABC. Admit you are a sinner deserving God's judgment (Romans 3:23). Believe that Jesus died for your sins as your substitute (Romans 5:8). Confess with you mouth that Jesus is your Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9). To anyone who takes these steps by faith, God promises to give eternal life. "He who believes in the Son has eternal life..." (John 3:36). The fear and sting of death is gone for those who have this new spiritual life. To die is simply to be with Christ. ARE YOU READY TO FACE DEATH IF IT COMES TODAY?
