Repent or Perish

1 About this time Jesus was informed that Pilate had murdered some people from Galilee as they were offering sacrifices at the Temple.2 “Do you think those Galileans were worse sinners than all the other people from Galilee?” Jesus asked. “Is that why they suffered? 3 Not at all! And you will perish, too, unless you repent of your sins and turn to God.4 and what about the eighteen people who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them? Were they the worst sinners in Jerusalem? 5 No, and I tell you again that unless you repent, you will perish, too.”

Luke 13:1-5 (NLT)

I did not put the title on this you will find it labeled this way in your bible. We often wonder why someone has had to die. Did they do something that deserved death?  Are they just an awful person and God is doing the world a favor by taking take them out of it. Is there a reason why a young person or a child has to die? Have you ever heard someone say, “Well they brought it on themselves?” or” I am amazed they lived this long!” That is probably the one people apply to me. But to tell you the truth death comes for everyone old and young and it does not respect how good or bad you have been it does not care if you have been in every bar in the country or every church. Sooner or later we all will pass out of this world. The question now becomes are you prepared for what is next. I am going to tell you there is more after this life you can believe me or not that is your choice but if you’re reading this you have questions about it.  

Well it might not be popular but the choices we make always lead us to somewhere. Whether it is a good or bad situation we end up in. It is because of a choice we make.  In this scripture some individuals came to Jesus asking if those who had been killed where greater sinners or evil doers than any others and if that is why they had been killed. We often make those same statements about people when they die tragically I had those same accusations made about my son when he died at 18 years of age. It is normal for people to try to assign blame to help explain why something like that happens. But death comes for us all. There is only one way to never die and that is to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and to repent and follow Him. He has promised those who call on His name eternal life. If you believe that there is more to life after we die I ask you to make a choice today between a life in Heaven with those who love Jesus or a life in Hell with those who never made that Choice. The choice is all yours no one can decide for you only you can choose to accept this gift. Have a blessed day and don’t let the grass grow under your feet death can come knocking at any time.
