Nothing Serious

I heard this morning that a friend had a massive heart attack and died.

It was nothing serious . . . he knew the Lord. Of course, it's a sad time for the family because they will miss him, but every time someone dies, I am reminded that death has lost its sting for those who have repented and trusted in Jesus.

It also reminds me that God has chosen the foolishness of preaching, to reach those who still "sit" in the shadow of death.

Unsaved humanity are prisoners on death row, waiting. And we know that there is a pardon from the King for those who will receive it.
