Cross By The Road

 

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."Psalm 14:18

A cross of course is the most recognizable symbol of the Christian faith. I recently saw a small white cross with a persons name who had been killed in a vehicle accident in my community, right on a curve on the main road. The birthdate I saw on it was 1979 but never saw the other details.

These white crosses are placed by family and friends to remember the lives of their loved ones who often perished hitting a tree, guardrail, and so forth. I have seen many and it always makes me want to pray for the family left behind. You never know the story of the deceased or what caused the accident. As a believer your main job is to pray for those still here grieving.

What about you. If you were to be hit head on by a semi, have a blow out causing your car to lose control, or simply pass away, do you know beyond a shadow of a doubt you will instantly be with Jesus? If so, what makes you 100% sure? Heaven is not guaranteed due to church membership, baptism as a baby, doing good deeds, and so forth. Ask God to come into your heart and save you today.

PRAYER: Father I know it saddens you when people are misled by false religions or their own idea thinking they are good enough to get into Heaven. Help me be able to share truth with others and I pray for religions leading others astray to be set free and awakened. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
